"inexpensive factory rounds"? I don't think so. On the other hand, it depends on what you consider "inexpensive".
This subject comes up alot. Here's a relatively recent thread.

These are fantastic rifles, I have a 14, and 141 in 30 Rem.
If you are going to hunt with it, a box of shells will last you awhile. But, if you are planning to use it at the range, loading is a must. They are pricey, if you can find them.
Congrats on a fine gun and heirloom. :D

Both of the last two entries on this subject are quite right about the ammunition noting you can buy newly loaded stuff using factory brass from various sources including Buffalo Arms, OWS, and boxes of vintage ammunition off Gunbroker or my favorite Ray Giles "Antique Ammunition" website.

Because I am so blabby I'll just re-state the obvious in that the .30 Remington is identical to the 30-30 Winchester except being a rimless cartridge and the loadiing data is the same. For a number of years I actually used 30-30 dies with with a .30 Remington shell holder and it worked like a champ.

The short version of the story is that ammunition is available, loading for the .30 Remington is easy, and these are really neat old guns that need to be shot.

Regards!
