That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Rounded soft-point bullets are recommended for rifles with tubular magazines. This recommendation stems from safety concerns; in a tubular magazine, the bullets line up tip-to-base. Pointed bullets can potentially strike the primer of the cartridge in front of them under recoil or bumping, which could cause accidental discharge. Rounded soft point bullets minimize this risk because their blunter tips are less likely to ignite the primer of another cartridge.
