One round-nose .30 that does lots of damage, yet also penetrates well, is the 170-grain Nosler Partition made for the .30-30. The soft front core opens up easily, but the rest of the bullet holds together even when shot from, say, the .300 Savage or .308 Winchester.

Haven't used it yet, but the RN 150 Ballistic Silvertip (also made for the .30-30) should do very well too.
