The 7.62x39 is pretty simular to the 30-30 round. The 30-30 round is a bit better becuase it retains more energy down range because of the heavier bullets, other wise they are pretty simular.

Yep. And 30-30 is substantially better - especially at likely ranges - because common 30-30 hunting bullets are usuallly much better that common SKS/AK bullets. I'll take a flat point/large HP (such as Barnes 150gr) in 30-30 any day over 123gr FMJ (or HP or PSP) in 7.62x29.
