Am I missing something here? The bullet in Jesse Heywood's post looks almost identical to the Remington Core Lock and Federal below. These were designed for 30-30 and tube mags and I have used plenty of this type of bullet in my model 94. I'd be surprised if they have any loading or feeding problems. As mentioned above, if the lead is soft enough to dent, it shouldn't be an issue. I can't say it would be impossible for that type bullet to impact a primer, but in 37 years of of using mine, I've never had a problem. Of course, I've never dropped my 94 or banged the stock against anything to try and see either. Just my opinion for what it's worth, if I missed something in this conversation, please correct me.
