I can say with experience,that the 30-30 has more of an effect on game to 200 yards than a .308 Winchester.
My best buddy has a Savage Mod 99 in .308 and I have seen countless Deer and Elk shot with it..My personal opinion is the Round Nose and Flat Nosed bullets out of the 30-30 have a better immediate effect than the pointy bullets of the .308 Win.
Call it the Berger effect,but it is there on descent angles.Bullets used is one of the virtues of the 30-30 over some others.
