[QUOTE="phoneman, post: 532138, member: 541477"] Well for the 38 super, I have never shot one but have seen a few 1911 chambered for it. It was one of those cartridges used for a short time with law enforcement but didnt catch on to much I dont think. I am pretty sure the hole idea on the 38 super was to get a round inbetween the 38 special and the 357 mag power wise and make it into an auto loading cartridge. I also believe it spawned another round called the 9mm federal or maybe vice versa. I think the 9x19 is what kept the 38 super from getting very popular since it can be loaded to produce similar velocity and energy as the 38 super, plus the 9x19 uses a shorter casing which means you will have a shorter action and it will fit in a more compact frame/design.. 30-06 mean 30 caliber in 1906. not sure on the 30-30 since I was never really interested in it.
