Editing .30-06 Springfield (section)

===Commonwealth===
The .30-06 (or "caliber .30") cartridge was adopted in 1940 during the beginnings of the [[Lend-Lease|Lend-Lease program]] in anticipation of using American weapons in front-line service. The British used American-made ammunition during the war, which was designated as ''cartridge S.A, .30'' to avoid confusing it with their own [[.303 British]] service round. It was used after the war as belted machinegun ammunition by the Royal Armored Corps and was not declared obsolete until October, 1993. The "z" after the numeral indicates that it used a nitrocellulose propellant rather than cordite. Marks of ammunition were originally designated with Roman numerals (i.e., .303 Ball Mark VII), but were replaced with Arabic numerals by 1945 (i.e., .303 Ball MK 7).
* '''Cartridge S.A, .30 ball MK Iz''': This was the War Ministry's designation for the 172-grain .30-06 Ball M1 round. It was not accepted for use in service, as the American military had already marked it as limited standard. 
* '''Cartridge S.A, .30 ball MK IIz''': This was the War Ministry's designation for the 150-grain .30-06 Ball M2 round. Lend-Lease ammo made for the British government had no mark designation and was headstamped ''.300z''.

* '''Cartridge S.A, tracer .30 inch G Mark 2z''': This was made under contract by Fabrique Nationale in the 1970s and is paired with .30 ball MK 5z. It is the same as the ''G Mark 1z'', except it has a non-corrosive Berdan primer. It is marked with a red bullet tip and has a [[headstamp]] of ''.30 G2z''.
