First off, I realize pointed bullets aren't typically used in lever action cartridges such as the 30-30 because of the way cartridges are aligned in the magazine tubes. But if I were to use a single shot rifle where the magazine tube is not an issue, could I load pointed .308 caliber bullets in a 30-30 case?
