Rem 141 pump. SP bullets in tube?

[Craigman]

I Picked up a remington 141 pump action rifle at my local Gander mtn this past weekend. Pretty neat old rifle. I didnt even know what it was and it caught my eye so I went home and looked it up then immediately called to put it on hold. Its not the prettiest, and I got a super deal on it so I plan on actually using it on deer sometime.

So the question is.... Can i load SP bullets in the tube safely seeing as the bullets are canted in the tube? My searching has turned up mixed answers mostly with an "I dont know for sure" ending. Any input is much appreciated

You can load soft point bullets in it that is what the spirals are for. What caliber is it? I don't think REAL sharp bullets were made in any calibers it was made in.

35rem so soft point, same as spire point like interlock or corelokt? and lead tipped spitzers?

The spiral magazine on the 141 lets you use the 150 grain pointed soft points. But the 200 grain Hornady Leverevolution load is more potent & would be a better choice. If you reload, you can put together some impressive deer thumpers.

My wife has a 141 in .35Rem, and yes, you can use pointed bullets. However, her rifle is deadly accurate with the 200 grain Remington core-Lokt loads.
