I don't think of the 30-30 as redundant, I think of it as the standard default round to take. Really, I think the 30-30 makes the 44 mag redundant, because it is soft-shooting but more capable in most situations. I would only bother taking the 30-06 if I knew there would be unusually long shots that I would have a steady enough rest to take. Most deer are taken inside 200 yards though, and a properly-placed 30-30 will definitely do the job in that range.
Use enough gun to do the job, but not more. You'll just flinch and miss more often.
