Oooops, not quite. The .30-30 was always smokeless. It just used the old ●●-●● blackpowder designation. Most of those though are bp.

.30-30 was originally .30WCF with smokeless powder. It didn't come to be known by the **-** BP designation commercially until the handloaders figured out it'd hold 30grs BP by volume with a cast lead bullet.

Last run of brass for 32-40 was around 2010-2012 or so. Don't know if WW will do them again or not. They were apparently doing them about every 10 yrs or so after they quit building ammo. Still popular with shooters in the ASSRA Schuetzen matches, which Coors sponsored up to 1993. I just sold mine last year. Some of the old Pope/ Zischang/Stevens/Win/Ballard guns can bring 5 figure prices these days. Think Browning did a run of 1885's in the 80's in 32-40, those and the JW 1894's were the last ones as far as I know. One of the beauties of breech seating is a person can use and load 1 pc of brass till it won't hold primers anymore, it never gets sized. I had 200-300 loads on 100 pcs of brass, still good to go.
