Could prove exciting ! You want flatter, go with Hornady rubber tips.

I've used the round nose bullets in lever guns. When stacked in the tube you don't have to worry about the round nose setting off the other cartridges like you would with a pointed bullet. I use the Remington Core-Lokt 200grRN in my 336 35 Rem.

I've seen that bullet, but since it didn't have a cannelure, I figured it was set up for the .308 Win. Like firearms44, I've used the 200 grain RN in the .35 Remington and had no issues.

The same with Hornady 350grs in 45-70, used it for years (and not whimpy loads)without issue. It was before the availability of 350FP.
I just shifted for CCI34 military semi auto primers which have thicker cup to add a bit of safety. But even without these, had no problem at all.

Thanks fella's I have some around and thought I might use them in my 30-30s. The profile doesn't look much different than the sierras that they list as for a 30-30.

Load and unload a few times and your round nose becomes a flat nose.
