Apples to apples they are pretty close, 170 gr 2100 fps 30/30 vs 180gr 2100 fps 35 rem. 35 rem gives you more options in bullet weight at the high end and you can load some 158 gr at the low end. It may be a little more versatile but you will find a lot more 30/30 ammo on shelves and reloading info in books. I like 35 rem, pretty accurate cartridge.
