Don't know about the .30-30; it doesn't look optimal. It looks short, like a pistol bullet. How far is the bullet pressed into the cartridge?

The 7.62x39 that people say the .30-30 is equal to in energy has a proper spitzer boat tail bullet. Fired from an AK it is still supersonic at 400 yards. The iron sight on the AK is adjustable up to 800 meters; with the AKM they increased it to 1000 meters. I wonder what they were hoping to hit at one kilometer with an AK...

That goes for ANY combat rifle with iron sights. Without high magnification optics the shooter is literally peeing in the wind.  There is a reason "assault" rifles have an optimal max range of 300-44 yards, the human eye can only deal with distance to a point then it is fruitless to even try.

I'm not sure what you mean by "That goes for ANY combat rifle with iron sights." What goes? Surely not one kilometer iron sights?

  I bought some 30-30 hornaday leverlution bullets for my 336 marlin. Has pointed rubber tips safe for tubular magazines. Shoots out to 250 yds accurately no problem.
