| Have chance to buy a remington .30 pump action rifle. Can you still buy this ammo ? Thanks Joe |

Or is it a Model 14 or 141 in .30 Remington? I had one and it was kinda fun. Made in the 1920s or 30s and had a period Weaver post-reticle scope. Has a twisted magazine tube so that pointed bullets can be used instead of the round-nose that mose tube-magazine guns are limited to. .30 Remington is identical to 30-30 Winchester in body, but is rimless. It can be loaded using 30-30 dies but a caliber-specific shell holder. I'm pretty sure Remington still makes one factory load for it. Rob |

I did a limited Google search...and wasn't able to locate any .30-.30 Rem (NOT Winchester) ammo anywere. Lots of info out there about the rifle itself, but since the 30-30 winchester really took off, and the rimless Remington didn't, it appears ammo manufacturers followed suit and dropped the 30-30 Rem for 30-30 Winchester. You might shop online auctions etc, but from a relatively limited search (Natchez, Midway, Remington ammo website and Google), nobody had any nor does it appear to still be manufactured (at least by Remington).

Here's some factory ammo: www.a1ammo.com/products/remington-ammunition/

The caliber is .30 Remington, not 30-30 Remington. I thought they were still loading it, but must have dropped it recently (or it is one of thsose occasional-run calibers). I'd bet you could still find it at gunshows and on shelves, but it is really easy to reload for. Rob |
