I somewhat agree with gangly, it definatly depends on your hunting location and what your range is. However at 200 yards the 30-30 has between 7.5 and 9.5 inches of drop with a 100 yard zero depending on the grain of the bullet, which is easily compinsated for. I tend to prefer the much flatter shooting of the two with the .270 that only has 1.5 to 2.5 inch drop at 200 yards and the .270 also hits with more energy at 200 yards at just under 2000 ft-lbs compared to the 30-30 at under 1000 ft-lbs
