yeah that 30cal 'designation' kind of confuses me, does it just mean the hole is big enough for every chambering from 30-30Winchester(.308" dia) up to 30-378WtbMag(.308" dia) ?
would '30cal' also include the 303British(technically .312" dia)? is that last one still considered '30cal'? i'd assume that last difference(0.004") isnt worth worrying about but where does it end eg.. 8mm is only .325" dia & where do you stop pushing your luck?
probably much better to rely on the mfr's designation as the guide but you can see above it's possibly open for interpretation..?

sorry if that's getting too picky/technical we're only talking about a hair's whisker, i just like to understand stuff & if it means worst case scenario someone keeps their eye.. bonus.
