.30/30 170gr flatpoint energy @100 yards is just over 1800 ft.lbs......

Ummmmm.......no. Using "factory" velocity numbers a federal 170gr .30-30 has 1827 ft/lbs at the muzzle and 1350 at 100 yards. Not even close to your numbers and if you adjust for barrel length than the numbers are substantially lower (more like 1657 and 1164). Yes, due to better BC the .30-30 does slightly better down range. Not enough to make a poo's worth of difference for the ranges we are talking.
Advocate all you want against it but you're bringing a knife to a gun fight with the lack of facts.
