light loads in military calibers , non rifle powders

[nanuk]

some nice 30-30 but its hard to keep from laughing when 200 grain spire points appear in the results for 30-30 options via google searches.

Why is that funny?

I like those heavy pointy bullets in my most of my 30-30s
I'm currently looking at going up to 250gr to see if they stabilize

I wonder if tempering/annealing the nose would help with expansion, like what some folks do with BarnesX bullets... make the noses dead soft (or the whole bullet, and use a tumble lube on them)
