Realistically speaking, bullet failures are a legitimate concern when taking deer with Cartridges such as the .220 Swift, .257 WBY, .264 Win Mag. etc. Poor bullet selection in one of these type cartridges can lead to game lost due to bullet failure, or more accurately stated "Game lost due to poor bullet selection." On the other hand, in a .30-30 WCF, you can shoot cast, Hollow point, round nose, leveroution, or whatever else you want barring the accelerator sabot and bullet failure is not going to happen on a deer.
