Re: 30 newton????

Roughly halfway between a '06 and .300H&H in power, never really popular. The case is a kind of fat 30/06, and you would have a hard time finding any brass, it's been obsolete for years.

Serial No. 119788 was made in late 1899, but seeing the OP made this post a year ago, and his only post, I doubt he cares.
