Not sure you can bend them although I haven't tried. I honestly think they would break before bending. Because of the density and hardness of the copper they are inserted into - I am sure they would break before moving in the seat.

Seems to me like there isn't enough support for the tip. Now we're talking an aluminum tip here not a lead tip.
Correct it is aluminum but it is harden to a very high degree. It is more brittle than it is bendable.

Lead tips fired from centerfires do melt some as do some of the older polymer tips.
I will looked into my imbalance concern and found this (which is what I was trying to say initially): http://riflebarrels.com/a-look-at-bu...nce-and-twist/ .
I truly believe what you are saying about imbalance - just do not see a way that a normal person loading this bullet could create that condition.
