Hello everyone
Pretty straight forward I guess . I'm looking for the reason why if any . I have an old bolt action 30-30 that uses a magazine . Formost I believe is the name which I believe was made by ... shoot I don't remember -Savage maybe ???
Anyways I was thinking of loading some pointy bullets for it but even 150gr FMJ's seated to the crimp groove are way to long for the mag . If I were to trim about half the neck off which I believe would leave plenty of neck for bullet hold . I then think the 150gr pointy bullets would work ???
My only hesitation would be they are the wrong type of bullet for the cartridge and would hate for any mix up later by me or anyone else . I don't have any other 30-30 now but will likely end up with a lever action 30-30 at some point .
Your thoughts ?

Side note , the 270 has a pretty long neck , why do these cartridges have such long necks , is there an actual reason/purpose ?
