My .30 Newton: Built on a left hand Ruger Hawkeye action, B&C stock and a Kongsberg (Norwegian) match barrel. The scope is a S&B 3-12x42. I get 3200 fps with 180 grs North Fork bullets and 71 grs Norma MRP, original Speer brass.

Mike: I understand what you say, but I also see that you don't have many data points on the Newtons. As I said earlier, I have been contact with people who use the Newton cartridges, and with no exceptions, all get higher velocities than you list at Ammoguide. I wonder, are your data...

Thanks for the link, let's hope he will ship overseas.

Well, I know Dave Kiff, he made my .40 Newton reamer... And regarding patents and legality, there would not be any problems. Newton never made any patents regarding his cartridges or the use of his name. All the Newton rifles have the stamp "Patent pending", a patent had been applied for...

Well, this is why I asked if anyone had any experience shooting the Newtons... There are a lot of rumours and heresay, but real knowledge comes through experience. Sloppy chambers, no. This is due to measurements of undersized brass, Western brass. Western produced brass for the the big...

natman: You are right, Newton was way ahead of his time. And it has taken me about six years to get the .30 Newton built. I have searched long for correct info and measurements. carpooler: Interesting post. I have some questions. Where did you get the info about the undersized cartridge? I...

Mike, Thanks for the link, interesting to read. Is this based on old data and powder, at least for the Newtons. And how is the case capacity measured, is it the whole case or up the bullet? An original Newton case will hold 89,2 grs of water without a bullet. Also I would say that...

Thanks everyone. First, there are many incorrect data reagarding the Newtons when it comes to perfomance. The .30 Newton will outperform a .300 Wby. I have a friend which has an original .30 Newton rifle from 1916 with a 24" barrel. He has a load with a 180 grs bullet, 77,3 grs R22...

Well, it's to bad that you have not heard of Chas Newton and his cartridges. The man was a ballistic genious, in my view one of the most gifted ever in America. But for some reason not many people know about him.

Thanks for the reply. CotW are wrong on this one. The Adolph Express cases had a rebated rim, the .30 Adolph was semi-rimmed, and the Newton cases are rimless. The .35 Newton is the .30 necked up. There was also a .33 Newton and a .40 Newton. And various wildcats based on the Newton case...

Chas Newton made som Express cases for the gunsmith Fred Adolph. .280 Adlph Express, .30 Adolph Express, .35 Adolph Express and .40 Adolph Express. There was also one called .30 Adolph. Does any one have any info on this rounds, and possibly know where to get any cases?

Hi I am from Norway, and I am new to this forum, this is my first post. I have always had a great admiration for Chas Newton and his cartridges. I have searched for info and components a long time, but here in Norway and the rest of Europe for that matter, there is very little to be found...
