The funny thing is that I wouldn't pooh-pooh the .30-30 to begin with, but certainly not in comparison to the .300H&H, a cartridge I have no particular use for.
To a certain extent, everything invented after the .30-30 and the .30-06 is kind of pointless. Oh, I know that there are other great rounds, and I personally have become quite the 6.5x55 fan, but the reality is that there isn't anything on this continent that won't die a quick death from one of those two calibers. It's curmudgeonly to say, but arguments about superior ballistics in other rounds don't impress me when it comes to these rounds: History has proven that they work perfectly fine, and that's where the buck stops for me.
That being said, my main hunting rifle is a 7mmRemMag, lol.
