I like the 150 gr. myself.

30-30 is a great cal. but anything with a tube mag, should be dis-conitued. or banned most hammers are unsafe. There are too many mis-haps while unloading.
With improper handling, any gun is not safe. But when handled correctly, I find they are as safe as anything else. Nearly every gun I own has a tube magazine (shotgun, .22, 30-30). The 30-30 has three safety features: half-cock, hammer block, and lever lock. I don't find it any more unsafe than anything else.
