Scorch, I actually had a couple of .256 Newton rounds that some guy brought me to look at. They went in the big Auction, but I am not sure that they were derived from the 30.06 anyway. I remember they were headstamped ".256 Newton" and might have been Remington production, but am not sure on that. I never really checked up on the history because nobody ever wanted one built.
