Tube mag explosion?

[rondog]

Round nose, flat nose and hollowpoint bullets work fine. No pointy nosed.

You didn't say what rifle and caliber, but tube-fed leverguns usually aren't too fond of SWC and WC type bullets either. They're not dangerous, just don't feed well.

.45-70

.45-70

Where'd you see that?

But in .45-70 and some others, a lot of guys use Hornady Leverevolution ammo and bullets. They're pointed, but have plastic "gummy tips" which makes them tube-mag safe.

Yes, .45-70. I have those Honady Leverevolutions and some flat nosed reloads that came with the gun. I'll probably stick with the HL's.

I could tell you but...

I think I can take credit for GG's needing a .45-70.

3 suppressed 357's ( 1 old, 1 new rossi & 1 older marlin carbine) running both 38 & 357 length swc's & FP. The 38 is somewhat sketchy with lead while powder coated is ok. I upgraded with Steves gunz heavier mag tube spring & followers, polished contact surfaces especially the ramp. How a stock out of box runs, they did ok prior to upgrades, better now.
