Using my ballistic calculator I came up with this using an average velocity from the reloading manuals: .300 Win mag, 165 gr bullet at 3,200 fps velocity. 000 – 3200 fps – 3751 ft/lbs – -1.50. 025 – 3147 fps – 3627 ft/lbs – -0.01. 050 – 3090 fps – 3506 ft/lbs – +1.25.

About 30 years ago i tested .223/5.56 in many configurations and also 7.62 x 39.Every round in every configuration (including soft points) penetrated 3/8 steel plate plus 1/2" pine board. There was not any serious difference between rounds, not with SS109 and Russian with steel core.
.30 Cal AP projectiles are expensive but worthwhile. If you can find M993 projectiles, they are worth the price. M61 projectiles are worthwhile as well. Remember that they can be loaded in other cartridges besides .308 and .30-06 as well. Both stabilize and are accurate in .300 Win mag, .300 Weatherby Mag and .300 RUM too.
i have a nikon buckmaster @ 4.5-14 with SF on my model 70 LRH in 300 Win Mag. it's shock proof, water proof, fog proof, and anti glare. if i do my part, the rifles range effectively to hit a man sized piece of paper is about 800 - 900 yards with high end factory ammo in the 180 gr range, add another 200 yards with 150 gr. Effective kill range is probably closer to 600 for deer sized game.

I like placing it alongside of the head with considerable force to the person holding the rifle, just behind his ear.
A 4x12 is too much scope for a 45/70. Your .300 Win mag is a reach out and touch someone caliber. If you're going to use it for everything (load light bullets for varmints, heavier bullets for big game),a 4x16 would probably be a good fit. If it is a big game only rifle, you won't need all that magnification unless you hunt where you will be ...
Yet I'm satisfied with the .44 Mag. for the most part as the recoil is enough, the weapons get heavier and larger with the .454 and the expense of shooting a .454 in comparison isn't worth the trade-off to me. And how about some evidence of 200 yrd. kills on whitetail with the .45 LC. The bullet drop would be substantial at that range.
The 30-30 is a hunting round, as such used in hunting environments; the average deer in america was shot by a 30-30 at 80 yds last year. That's not a statement of its ability, just its use. Whatever you would shoot with an AK or SKS, you can shoot with a 30-30 knowing you have greater accuracy and a little more power.
A couple of years ago Hot Banded Coils were selling for over $1100/ton, now it's somewhere between $500 to $600/ton. one 4 x 8 sheet of .375 in thick steel will be about 500 pounds. one 4 x 8 sheet of .25 in thick steel will be about 320 pounds. It probably would be best to cut it into smaller pieces and then mount it on the support frames ...
