Good 308 Bullet for 30-30

What is a good general purpose bullet for the 30-30 in Jacketed and lead?
I see there are 110 gr or 150 gr jackets available.

Your rifle, game, and terrain will dictate the proper bullet, I shoot a Marlin 336 in 30-30 so I only use flat nose or flex tip jacketed bullets, tubular magazine. I hunt Pa, white tail Deer, which are somewhat, thinned shinned, however I did use the 170 grain core lok jacketed bullet, most of my shots are 40 to 60 yards. My last three Deer were taken with 170 grain Lead bullets cast from a Lyman mold. If my shots were over 100 yard with the 3030 I would use the 150 grain jacketed, or a flex tip bullet. Most any bullet will drop a Deer, the trick is to do it as soon and humainly as possible.

I have good luck with the Lee 309-150-F in 30-30, 308 and 30-06. The Lee 309-113-F will shoot MOA at 100 yds in my H&R 30-30.
