The 17 HMR is a pointy bullet and can be used in a tube magazine because that pointy tip is polymer, not metal. Could the same be done for centerfire? It would be useful if an ammunition company and Henry could get together and create a new cartridge or two, complete with only polymer tips, that could be used in a tube magazine. Cartridges similar in performance to, but not exchangeable with, a 6.5 Creedmoor or a 308. Or whatever floats the boat of the manufacturers and customers. This could realize modern ballistics and power for a tube magazine lever gun while still looking awesome cowboy cool. If this idea has been floated earlier in this thread, my apologies -but I am not wading through 104 pages (of obviously fantastic ideas) to find out.
Like Hornady's LEVERevolution Flex-tip ammo for lever guns?
