I shoot 170 grain in my .30\.30, so obviously a MUCH lighter round.
Any suggestions? Should I post this in the Hunting Type Things thread?
Thanks fellas.

Unless you are planning at shooting at deer at 300 yards or more, I'd stick with the .30/.30. Or, sell your 30/30, buy a .270, and you can hunt deer at any distance and have your fun gun with the AR. Lots of guys hunt with AR's though. The round is fine.
