Title: Summary on W.A. .30
Post by butlersrangers on Jun 7th, 2019 at 7:03pm
"Whistler and Aspinwall .30" was produced for use by Frankford Arsenal beginning in 1895.

W-A .30 became available commercially in 1898.

Hercules discontinued W-A .30 in 1930.

Although, other early 'smokeless' propellants were utilized in the evolution of the .30-40 (.30 Army) cartridge and in some government SAW ammunition contracts, W-A .30 was the 'work horse' propellant, during the pre-WW1 Krag era.

Circa 1900 graphic displays application of various Laflin & Rand Propellants.

1898 graphic totes use in Krag.
