I agree about RN bullets being safe, but spire points were part of the question, and they are a bad idea.

I'm glad someone posted about this quandary. I have wanted to run 200gr Sierra RN bullets out of my Winchester �94 Big Bore in 356 Win., but I keep reading that the RN bullets can set off other rounds in the tubular magazine. Only FN bullets are recommended. Well, I�m sitting here looking at the 200gr RN bullets along with a box of 250gr Speer Hot-Cor FN bullets. For the life of me, there does not appear to be any difference in the actual surface of the bullet's noses/tips! The Sierra bullet�s nose/tip is equally as flat as the Speer FN bullet! I was going to just load one in the chamber and one in the magazine with the RN bullets, but I might just load-up a whole magazine having inspected both bullets. I�ll have my wife post for me if I blow my face off!   OCC I have run both the Sierra 200s and the Rem 200 CLRN in my 94BB 356 without a hiccup. I am going to try the sponge tipped Hornadys in it.

Thanks gentlemen! I just decided to throw fate to the wind and try the 200gr Sierras this weekend. They did just fine. No problems. I really like this Win '94 XTR BB 356! ![[Linked Image]](http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/342/342376/folders/263306/2384481200grSierraRN.jpg)
