Hello,

I inherited this rifle from a dead relative recently (Savage Arms 340A bolt action 30-30) from someone in the family who passed away. I'm fairly new to firearms and recently got a gun license but I was curious at exactly what type of ammunition this rifle takes.

I asked the person who handed it over if it was standard 30-30 Winchester rounds, and he said no. Now as I said, I am fairly new to guns so I don't know how many different types of 30-30 there are (if that even makes any sense) or if any 30-30 Winchester will be fine?
