Good Video man!! Newton had a number of calibers!!! I was looking at the 35 Newton but as you have found brass and dies are the issue. I then looked at the Browns. The Brown Whelen is impressive.
Yeah sounds I like I just need some 338 win mag brass that I need to track down. And some 30-338 win dies and I will be in business. Might have to trim the necks. Not sure yet. Thanks for watching as always! I love these old calibers and rifles.
It’s more or less 30-338. Like many customs/wildcats, each rifle can vary based on what reamer(s) were used. You can start with 30-338 dies with belted magnum cases and size to fit. 338 Win Mag or 7mm Rem Mag would work, just keep an eye on the case necks as you form them - turning or reaming may be desirable.
Just use 308 Norma dies and size 338Win brass down or use 308 Norma brass and trim to Newton length. Its a fairly straight forward process, and a very efficient and effective cartridge. Lots of guys used the 30-338 (30 B Newton) for 1,000 BR.
Nice find! I have heard of the round in my youth but it is long obsolete, undoubtedly based on a reformed .300 H&H case given it’s build era. Sadly my “go to” on such matters has passed so I can’t help you there…I am an old codger but not quite that old yet.
So I did some digging and P.O. Ackley says it is the same as the .30-338. Apparently Western Cartridge Company made brass and ammo for it prior to WW2. Of course the .338 Win. Mag. was a postwar development as was the wildcat .30-338. I have one myself and the Sierra manual has data for it. Hopefully this helps!
Beautiful plinker!!
Thanks bud!!
Very cool
Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for the info!
Awesome. That’s what I am been learning, I order a set of 30-338 win mag dies that should work.
Newtons are new to me 😮
It’s an interesting round! Some good speed out of the Belted one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I believe the 308 Norma has a different shoulder?!? Correct?
@@ReloadingQuest 308 norma mag
@@cory8791 yes is it not a different shoulder?
@@cory8791 from what I have found it’s a different shoulder
@@cory8791 yeah looks like I can use 308 Norma mag brass. Thanks!
Fancy stock, looks like a fine rifle. I like oddball stuff, but never heard of that one.
Yeah the stock is very nice! I am excited to get loading for it. There is a 30 Newton to that’s a little different. Thanks for watching and commenting

375 ruger or 8x68s
Yes I believe I can use 375 H&H but I think I can use 300 H&H brass. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@waynemayle865 yeah may look into that
Cool old rifle. I’d personally go with a little smaller scope like a VX II 3-9.
Yeah that’s not a bad idea on scope! Still trying to decide on what one. I might do a pole and see what ppl think. Thanks for watching and commenting,
I have seen the ammo before keeps your eyes on wards auctions sometimes there's alot of old obsolete ammo on the auctions
Okay thanks. I have seen 30 Newton but not seen 30 Belted Newton. Far as I know it a wild cat.
@@ReloadingQuest 375 ruger you can make the ammo for that 30 newton
@@waynemayle865 30 newton is different then the 30 belted Newton. 👍
Nice rifle. That 4x scope looks like the one i shot my first deer with on top of a old bolt 30-30.
Great looking stock.
Thanks 🙏
Never heard of it.
It’s an old one. Wild cat. Pretty dang close to the 300 win mag.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
If I'm correct a 375 you should be able to make brass from
The 375 H&H yep . I think I can use 338 win mag as well
