I don't know about .30-30 premium ammo but I had extremely good results with Federal's premium .223 Rem. 55-gr. soft points loaded with Sierra's GAMEKING bullets. I have yet to be able to work up a handload that provides significantly tighter groups or more consistent kills (on groundhogs). On the other hand, when my son got his CZ 550 .22-250, he got a couple of boxes of Winchester's "white box" 45-gr. factory rounds and they too gave exceptional accuracy. I have always understood that Winchester's "white box" ammo is their economy line. So, based on our very limited recent experience, I couldn't see that Federal's premium .223's gave any tighter or more consistent groups than Winchester "white box" .22-250's.
