I see how ya got your numbers. You ran 125gr bullets. I am just not used to shooting 125gr bullets in a 30-30. Actually don't know anyone that does. I know remington doesn't load them. Maybe federal offers some. Only used to 150gr and 170g. Still you can pick any bullet/velocity combo out of the 44mag, and not be stouter than the 30-30 with 150gr or 170gr energy or velocity wise.
