The 30-30 is a rimmed cartridge, versus the .308, which has a rimless cartridge. The 30-30 has much lower energy than the .308, and is typically loaded with a flat tipped bullet, due to the number of lever action 30-30s that had a tubular magazine. The .308 typically has a spitzer (pointed) bullet.
