You can for the .30-06. But, for the 30-30 with the tubular magazine, you need flat nose rounds to keep from recoil punching the primer of the bullet in the stack.

[edit]Ooops thought you said hornady interbond . The hornady interlocks are OK.

The flat nosed 150gr bullets, Hornady model #3035 are fine for the 30-30. They are also interlock design. Do NOT use spire point bullets in the tubular magazine weapons. You can use the spire points or the flat points in the 30-06.

ETA: for Hornady model # change. The 3031 is a spire point, not good for tubular magazines. Use the 3035, which is a round nose design, and works fine in the 3030s.

the hornady model # 3031 that i'm talking about has an SP @ the end does that stand for spire point?? Below is the item description

You are correct, the 3031 is a spire point. Do not use them in the 30-30s. Use the Hornady 3035, instead. That is a round nose.

There is nothing wrong with using two pointed bullets in a 30-30: one in chamber, one in magazine.

Makes shtf supply purchases easier too...
