Round Enough for Tube Magazine?

[gunboat57]

I'm reloading for my Glenfield 30A 30-30 using Sierra 110 gr RN jacketed bullets made for the M1 carbine.

Would these be dangerous in a tubular magazine? They look about the same as this Hornady bullet which Hornady sez is OK for tube magazines:

In any case I could always use my rifle as a "two shot" repeater when varmint hunting.

Would these be less rounder?

Your 110's will produce much less primer banging recoil then those 150's for sure.

My concern would be the lack of a crimp cannelure, and resulting bullet set-back in the case.
But I would want to load more then two.

Those will be fine. The soft lead tip allows quite a bit of leeway in how sharp your tips are

Great, thanks for the replies. I like the Sierras because they say on their website that they are made to expand at M1 carbine velocities (and because somebody gave me two boxes of 'em). Should work well in my 30-30. I'll get me to the range tomorrow and test accuracy.

Round Enough

Yep.
