Never shot a deer with a 30/30 but have used the 32 Special, it's twin on a few deer and it was deadly with 170 grain Hornadys.

Yep. Been loading them for almost 25 years. Thought the old factory Silver Tip loads worked pretty well 40 years ago, until I started killing deer with the Hornady 170gr FPs.
Pure fluke, since the only bullets the shop had for that application, back when I began loading for the 32 Special, were the Hornadys. A coupla dead deer and I never bothered to look for anything else.
