I suppose another way to say the same thing that Buckhunter and Skeet are, is: premium ammo is a good idea to use when you're tackling a critter that's larger than one usually would for the caliber.
The only 30-30 bullet mentioned that I have experience with is the Nosler Partition designed for the 30-30. I load that bullet in the 307 Winchester for a friend of mine, who hunts deer with that load. The Nosler performs very well- complete penetration.
Why do I load that Nosler Partition for deer? In this case, because the 307 is shooting about 3-400 fps faster than the 30-30, and faster than 30-30 bullets (flat points) were originally designed for.
Were I loading a 30-30 for deer, I doubt I'd use a premium bullet- the standard bullets have been designed specifically for deer at 30-30 velocity, and I'm sure they work very well.
