[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1668578, member: 9551"] I saw a rifle marked "256" on the barrel last year. I asked and got no help from the sales staff. The consignment was for thousands so I did not purchase the rifle. Later it dawned on me that it was a Newton and if I looked at the interrupted thread lugs I would have recognized it. I have only seen one other Newton bolt action, that was a Canadian Army bare action. Thanks for the 256 Newton story. I will bet it was loaded with IMR 3031. Thanks for the story of a cartridge and designer ahead of his time. Remember he came up with the Savage cartridges, 250 and 300 Savage. [/QUOTE]
