Good to know. Whew! Glad I hadn't tried that yet. Although, I haven't seen any pointed .44mag yet either.

"Pointed" 44 Magazine for lever actions

Interesting stuff. However, at $1/round or more I'll pass.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Henry in .44Mag. I haven't had any trouble with jacketed soft points with round noses. I haven't tried anything with points or hollow points. I kinds figured the hollow points might not feed properly, but what's the problem with pointed rounds?
