So Jeff, would "target"/FMJ ammo be better in a Lever, in general? Or are the jackets just thinner with handgun ammo and the FMJ just as problematic? Most of the regular 30-30 ammo seems to be "flattened" soft point with an exposed lead tip.

Most of my .38spcl/.357mag ammo is round nose FMJ. Not "pointy", but...

Looking at Ballistics by the inch, some of the loads almost double in velocity going from 4 inches to 18!
