I always use the 170 grain Flat point. If you hit the vitals at 200 yards, they are not going to go far. With the new lever action ballistic tips, that will increase to 300 yards.

As the 30-30 has a rainbow type trajectory, you have to put some time in shooting it a 200 yards if you expect to get good vital hits. However if you put in the time, the 30-30 will deliever the meat to the table.
