I think the real reason the .30-30 has a long neck is because John M. Browning designed it that way.

Because the designers of the cartridge felt that extra support was necessary for the long 220 gr RN bullet used in .30-03.That all said , the next obvious question would be ..... wait for it ...................................why did the 30-03 have a long neck
I gave the primary reason for the "long" .30-30 neck in the very post that you quoted.Nobody has actually had any ideas as to why some necks are longer.
