I have often wondered about that as well. It seems like such an obvious solution to the problem of pointed bullets in a tubular magazine and it has apparently worked before. Can't imagine why none of the lever gun companies have tried using the spiral tube or some variation thereof.
I also thought that someone should design a spitzer bullet along the lines of a Nosler balistic tip but with a plastic tip that would be soft enough not to be capable of setting off a primer yet firm enough to stay aerodynamic leaving the barrel. Would be neat to have factory loaded 30-30 spitzer that you could use in any standard 94 or 336!
