They are both decently accurate (2"-4" @ 100) and my hand-loads are just a slight improvement over the 30-30 in power.

Aye, slightly better than the 30/30 in power .....at the muzzle ....but if they can be made to shoot a sleek 7mm BT bullet ...... then it doubles the effective hunting range of the .30/30.
A bullet with a .500 BC launched @2500 f/sec, and sighted 3" high at 100 will still allow you to hold in the hair at 300, and still be packing well over 1200 ft/lbs of energy when it gets there ....... and if you can make it shoot under 3" @100, it's still pie plate accurate at 300, if you do your part.
