Spitzer bullets feed without any problems from the En Block clips of the 1895 Dutch rifle and again Kynoch, Nobel and Eley all offered ammunition with 135 grain spitzer FMJ bullets, also available pre-loaded in clips. The main thing with these rifles is to make sure that the cartridge follower is allowed to move the full amount of travel that it was designed with, and that the correct amount of pressure is being placed on the rear one-third of the cartridge. With the correct pressure the nose of the ammunition is pushed upwards slightly which allows it to feed straight into the chamber and the rear of the cartridge is pushed up underneath the extractor. If you don't have enough pressure than the last round will jam as the rim of the cartridge catches on the rear feed ramp and wont be gripped by the extractor. With these rifle maximum COL cannot be exceeded as they will not fit into the magazine.

Again the Woodleigh 140 and 160 grain PP feed perfectly.
