The design of the bullets is so that you can load them into a tubular magazine and not risk a chain fire AND not deform while doing this. Makes no difference if stored tip up or down. I have Nosler Accubond in rifles and JDJ Contender rounds, A-max bullets in rifles for semi-autos (M1A and AR style) with no problems. The tips are tough and do not deform, you really have to try and do something to get them to deform. I still have some 7 Rem Mags around with the original 139 exposed lead bullets, these deform easy, the plastic tips do not. Even the Ballistic tips from Nosler in the 55 grain varmint bullets do not deform but do a good job of a "red cloud" when less than 400 yards out of my 220 Rocket at about 4000FPS. I would recommend a tipped bullet from almost anyone reputable, I personally prefer Nosler but Hornady sure hit a bulls-eye with their tipped line as well. My Daughter got her deer last year with a 25 WSSM Winchester tipped bullet. Tipped bullets are going to be the future, the new defense rounds from Hornady are tipped and work as advertised in both 223 and 308. I would not be surprised to find some regular pistol defense rounds coming out in the future as tipped instead of hollow point.

When you are up to your neck in alligators it is hard to remember your original intention was to drain the swamp
