Not a bad solution in theory, but in practice....its a 30-30 lever action rifle how much of an improvement are you expecting to gain? The spire point give a bullet a better ballistic coefficient, but that will only really come in to play down range. Did you ever hear the one about putting lipstick on a pig?
I would just go with a bullet that was designed for your dads rifle. I use 170 grain round or flat nose bullets in mine. They don't give anything up to the 150 grain bullets and you gain a little in terminal performance.
