ORIGINAL: frizzellr

I think it was also called the 30 Russian Short.
That's the name I'd prefer. Or 30 Russian Rimless. However, the European designations do really give more descriptive information than ours do! For example to the uninitiaed,308 Norma ammo should work in a .308 Winchester! Likewise, the myriad .300's should interchange, since they are all ".300's", right??
