If you like 30-30s,in the past I sometimes used 110gr bullets made for M1 carines along with a little extra powder in a reload to give a little more range to the 30-30 cartridge.

Surprised several oldtimers with what "my" 30-30 would do. ;)

I wouldn't suggest using pointy-tipped bullets in a tube-feed 30-30 unless you want to surprise yourself with what your 30-30 would do. Might not be a bad idea either to set your affairs in order before you pull the trigger. Just for giggles, you might want to take that first shot from behind a very solid wall, and make it via a string tied to the trigger.

I didn't mention "pointy" bullets until #257 and in the same sentence said "only to be used in a tube feed as a single shot".

I "am" here today after all. ;)
