That may be true, but I'm not going to try it.
I load spitzers for .30-30's all the time, but I shoot them out of my Contenders and Savage bolt action.
I have a few model 94's too, but they only get round nose or flat points.
I've loaded some silly stuff in this caliber too, from 100 grain short jacket "plinkers" and 110 grain JHP's to 180 grain Nosler Partitions and Ballistic Tips.
To the OP, try some Nosler Partitions on those hogs, I'll bet you'll get the desired results.
