Re: Vintage: Box Of Rem. 30-30 Express…
IIRC, the 165 was the original bullet weight as it was considered the "best" but later tastes, a need to compete with other brands such as the .303 Savage and so forth they moved to the 150s and 170s as "standards" although other weights in specialty loads were sold.
