You can't run pointed bullets in a tubular magazine. The nose of one bullet would be against the primer of the next one, and a round could ignite in the magazine under recoil.
If you want rifle calibers with spitzer type bullets, you need a box magazine. And this is the primary reason that there are some lever actions that use box magazines. Historically, there have not been many box fed lever actions, but there have been some, and I think Henry has just introduced a new one that uses AR mags.

Hornady Leverevolution flex tip bullets are pointed but work in tubular magazines because of their flexible tip design.

Thanks. I bought it in the mid 70's for $145. I spent a lot of time working up an accurate load for it. It took quite a few woodchucks from a dairy farm my friends and I serviced removing varmints and then deer hunted on.

Never mind. Upon looking at the manual, the hole is supposed to be there apparently.
Missing? Your instruction Manuel.

It went to a well know member here and one heck of a nice guy- so I'm happy I sold it.

Yea, that hole allows accsess to punch out the pin that holds the lever and bolt together. If either of you decide to take it apart there are some good you tube videos with some alternate take down methods because getting those two parts back together can be frustrating.
Few years back I had a Rossi 92 in 454 Casull that I sold, wish I hadn't but I'm looking for another one now.

Bring 'em over here and we'll fix THAT!
I don't know how you can do that. I get so pumped when I get a new gun it is my mission to get it to the range to try it out.
I know I've posted some of these up in the past but here is my current collection.

I kind of want to get the Axe. Don't know why. Don't know if I need a reason. Haven't seen one for sale yet but it is on my interest list.

I have some old 336's (50's vintage) I have bought over the years and just stuck in the safe. I finally got around to doing complete takedown and detailed cleaning of them and replacing buggered up screws because that drives me nuts. Tracking down screws has been challenging, I find them on Ebay but man they are pricey!

No I haven't but I will. I did put one of these kits in my guide gun, they're a nice upgrade but pricey.

Henry | Marlin | Rossi For years the gun industry has used slot headed screws for the receivers on guns. Back in the day, tooling and fabrication what it was, it was about the only choice. These days we have lots of options for screw heads. We decided that going all the way back to the start...
