you should follow the caveat against loading 30-30 for use in tubular magazines with pointed bullets due to possibility of setting off a primer.
I have read that some have used poly-tip slugs safely and now Hornady is makeing a poly-tip exclusively for the 30-30 and other tube mags (.35, .45-70, .44mag etc.)
