Winchester lists their 150 gr. offereings at around 2390fps at the muzzle and their 170gr. rounds at about 2200. That's quite a bit more muzzle energy than the .44mag. If you're looking to medium + sized game, I'd stick with the .30-30. However, if you're looking to take mid/small game within 100 yards, .44mag is not a bad choice.
