Default Are speer 30 cal 130 gr hcfp ok to use in winchester 94

I bought a box of 130 gr speer hotcore fp from sportsmans warehouse. The box was sealed. Upon opening they are indeed flat,but the tips sure seem pretty narrow. Seem to be a tad smaller than the primer it will be resting on if I load them in my 94 winchester. I know thats what they say to use,but this is my first batch of 30-30 rounds I have made and I want to be sure. I will be pushing them with 33 grains of IMR4064 and using winchester brass with a winchester primer. Crimpped with a lee factory crimpping die. Can you set my mind at ease...............

I've sent a bunch of them downrange from my 94. The tip is almost identical in size to the Speer Hotcore 150, and 170 grain FT's.
In the .30/30 it's a darn good bullet for larger small game like coyotes and havelina's, and is pretty good for deer and antelope if that's what you want to use it for.
