While the 30/30 ballistics do out perform the .44 Mag in all areas, I like being able to shove 9 rounds of .44 into the tubular mag on my Marlin 1894P. Most 30/30's in this size would probably take only 4 or 5. I also like using the same ammo in my revolver as my short range hunting rifle. These points may or may not be a major concern, just my 2 cents.
