When hunting with a .30/30 or .303 Savage I want every last bit of performance available to me without stepping into the realm of high pressures. That's why I favor 190's in the .30/30. I applaud Buffalo for providing a load of that weight commercially. Maybe more people will now try that weight bullet and see what they've been missing all these years.
Please enlighten me. I've been using a .30-30 with jacketed 170's for deer and black bear since 1977 with complete satisfaction.
Once again, if it aint broke, why fix it? I've been using 170gr with consistently excellent results. Core-Lokts are hard to beat for my application. If I want to shoot elk, I use my 444Marlin or 30-06. But I know, guys just like to dink around with stuff.
