I remember an article a while back by a gun writer (Wayne van Zwoll?) in which he deliberately disfigured bullets. Cutting off the tips with wire cutters. From the pictures some of the tips were uneven some oval in cross section. They shot surprisingly well, about 1.25-1.5" IIRC.

If the bullet below the caliber ogive is not damaged they should shoot OK, not match grade, but good enough for hunting.
