Both can do the job at 30 feet; you just need to put them on target.
Follow up with a 27 pellet #4 buck load will generally be faster than with a 16 pellet #1 buck load since the #4 buck is an 1 1/4 ounce load vs. the #1 buck which is 1 1/2 ounce.
In a house at 30 feet or less, the 10 inch typical penetration of #4 buck on a frontal shot will put 27 1/4 inch holes in the boiler room. A side shot won't be very pleasant for the intruder either.
