The cartridge was designed for smokeless powder, and was a popular sporting cartridge until replaced by the much faster .300 Savage in 1920. The rotary magazine of the Savage action allowed use of spitzer bullets, so the .303 Savage has a ballistic advantage over the .30-30, but despite Arthur Savage's best efforts it never became as popular.
