I’ve snipped the lead tips off .257 Partitions and BT’s to get them short enough to stabilize in pre-1960 Savage 99’s in 250-3000. While still not as accurate as something like a 87gr .257 Speer Hot Core, it improved groups from 7”-8” down to 1.5” real easy. Probably could work up loads that do better.
