The premiums do have their uses. As Buckhunter said..the run of the mill softpoints do work fine at normal ranges with the 30-30..but here is the whole point. If you think the premiums are better..then by all means use them. They surely do not reduce the effectiveness of the ammo. And in short range situations the premiums will be better for elkies and moosies. And being a bit old school.. I really do like the Noslers.. In larger cals the Barnes bullets work very well too. Don't know about the 30-30 though with a X bullet. A friend used my 300 Savage 722 to shoot an elk with a 130 gr X bullet... bullet went front to back and out of the critter. DRT too...never moved according to him. But only 125 yds or so. but that bullet shoots almost 3000 ft per second from the 300 Savage. Probably only get 2600 or so from the same weight in a 30-30
