chamber a fresh round, unlock the bolt, pull it back till the case is visiable, carefully support the case with your thumb keeping it straight in the bolt raceway away from the ejection port till the bullet tip clears, if the round is undamaged its happening on ejection and I wouldn't worry about it, of course you could unload like this each time or switch to accubonds, just as good of a bullet (maybe a bit better at high speeds) with a polymer tip.

I watched the show "The Gun Nuts' last night and Dave intentionally deformed 5 lead tips. He fired a group with new tips and then another with the deformed tips. The deformed tips' group was twice the size of the ones that were not deformed. Now we are talking a 3/4" or so group up to about a 2" group. I don't think it is enough to worry about unless you are shooting long range.
