Websites that carry ammo, when in stock, usually specify that 'pointed' projectiles are for the Model 8's only.

That seems like excessive CYA to me, but that's the world we live in today.
The unique magazine tube of the Model 14 and 141 was one of the selling points of the guns, back in the day. It safely allowed the use of pointed bullets, if you chose to use them. The design of the tube "tilted" the rounds so that the tips of the bullets were not lined up with the primer of the round ahead of it, and it did work.
Also, consider this, if pointed bullets are for model 8s ONLY, then what about the model 30 bolt actions chambered for the same rounds? Box magazines there.
