History
Developed by wildcatter Ken Waters for lever action rifles, the 7-30 Waters is based on the 30-30 Winchester necked down to 7mm, designed as an attempt to produce superior external ballistics to the parent cartridge. The wildcat was picked up by Winchester in 1984 and released in their Model 94 Lever action rifle but with a longer than usual 24” barrel. Winchester retained the name of the original wildcat.
This cartridge found a niche with Thompson Center Arms Contender handgun, available in the U.S, the T.C.C rifle version being exported world wide.
