RE: what kind of bullets?
 

Please excuse the following stupid question. I was raised to only hunt with hollow points.

What do you mean by ballistic points.?
For Christmas I was given 2 new types of 30-30- bullets .Are they any good?

1st box are Remington Express Core-lokt 150 grain

2nd box are Winchester Power Point 150 grain
Thanks for being patient with me,

A Ballistic Tip is sort of like a hollow point with a little plastic, pointed tip inserted in the hole of the hollow point. They expand quite rapidly.


Yes, the 30-30 shells you got are good.

I prefer the Winchester Supreme silver Ballistic tips.

Chuck, you're not loading the magazine withthese, are you? I useone these for my first shotin the chamber and the rest of the magazine with Flat Nose!

I've been loading all Hollow Points partner for the deer. Strut told me when hog hunting the Core Lokt are probably better for pnetration.

Tubular Magazine Cautions
One of the "drawbacks" in using the lever action rifle with a tubular magazine is that one cannot use spire-pointed bullets. The problem, of course, is that a pointed bullet pressing against the primer of the cartridge ahead of it could cause a discharge in the magazine as the gun recoils. This caution also extends to round-nosed bullets in heavy recoiling rifles such as the .45-70.

hey gys thanx for the comments on this. ithought i was the only die hard ballistic tip fan. glad to know that alot more of my fellow hunters go with the same bullets that i do

RE: what kind of bullets?
 

As long as they are flat nose loaded in the magazine, you can chamber any style bullet for your first shot! Do a research on the net about loading rifles withtubular magazines!;)
