.30-30 Pointed Bullet Loads in a Lever Action

[CZ57]

Dick: the Remington Core-lokt I mentioned is the one made for .30-30 Win. I have never heard of them causing primer ignition in the magazine. All others being discussed with pointed bullets are for one round in the magazine only. As far as loading the Leverrevolution to Hornady's performance, I don't think any black magic would be required. First off, it probably falls a little short of Hornady's claimed velocity and there are powders that would duplicate anything Hornady's using. I know they talk about specially formulated powders for their Light magnum and Heavy Magnum loads, but when you get down to actual chronographing you find that there isn't quite the level of magic they'd have you believe.

Loading the spitzers probably will NOT result in increased velocities.

When loaded to the same COL the spitzer will require deep seating thereby reducing effective case capacity. At longer ranges the better BC of the spitzer should make up for the slower muzzle velocity but I never seem to shoot anything far enough away for the BC advantage to take effect.
