Kentucky Rifle

It's been a lot of fun looking for the round my new Marlin likes the best. It seems to like anything. (And, I'm falling in love with the rifle.) Yesterday, I purchased some 170gr Gold Dot "GDSP". Jacketed bullets with a big flat nose. (I can hardly wait to try these out.) Reading the manual again, it states the only ammunition limitations are "shot filled" bullets (I understand. Might mess up that nice barrel.), and wad cutters. I wonder about that. Can a few of you please give me an opinion for the wad cutter limitation? The manual doesn't give a reason.
There's one other great thing about this rifle. I don't have to wear my glasses to see the front sight clearly! 18.5 inches away and it's just perfect. The Militec-1 lube made it MUCH smoother operating. (And I've only lubed with Militec one time.) A couple more times and it'll be smooth as glass.
Thanks,
KR
