Research notes
Charles Newton had an affinity for single shot rifles and did various experiments with cases like the 405 Winchester, Sharps cases as well as the 40-110 and 45-125 WCF cases. The rimless 30 Newton was based on a case with 404 Jeffery capacity and this rimmed version might have been an attempt to achieve the same ballistics in a single shot rifle.
