I would give a thumbs up to the 30-30 AI as well, the extra case volume will give you more punch. It has the added benefit that you can always use factory 30-30 ammo if you get caught short. I have an old High Wall in this caliber that I am restoring from having been varmintized; caliber will be going back to 38-55 as it came from the factory. As a result I have a set of barely used Hornady 30-30 AI dies that I no longer need.
