The .30-30 was always a smokeless cartridge. It got its name from being loaded with 30 grains of smokeless powder in the black powder cartridge nomenclature tradition.

I'm sure you could load it with black powder and get approximately .32-40 ballistics.

An empty .30-30 case holds about 45 grains of black powder when used as a powder measure.
