Default .30-30 reloads

I just gave my daughtermy 1st deer gun,a Savage model 340 in.30-30.... I know that no production rounds in this calibre is available in anything other than round nose bullets...in mainly 2 weights. I was wondering, if it would be practical to handload a better/faster round for this gun, since it's magazine fed(instead of tube-fed). I could go lower than the 150 Gr available today, which should drastically improve ballistics for this cartridge. I honestly feel, that the .30-30 cal can perform better than the standard shells offered today....what's your opinion.
