Does anyone make 65gr .258 soft lead bullets?

I am curious as my plan for this 25 rimfire ammo build should have .251 65gr bullets. If I could get my hands on a few .258 65gr I would be able to test a sizing die and fitment of the bullet.

I know that you can get a die and it may or may not be worth it but if I cannot size down 7-8 thou easily it may not be worth the money at all.

Thanks guys
 
Sizing 7 or 8 thou shouldn't be an issue but how much deformation there is on such a small bullet might start to be.
I've got two 25-20's but no mold or I would gladly send you a hand full to try.
 
I thought with soft lead it would not be a problem, make a .251 or slightly less guide to push on the back of the bullet and press it through a .251 resizer.

At this point the most cost effective is probably just dead soft .251 airgun pellets at 50gr but the rifle was supposed to use a 65gr bullet so that is what I am striving for.

A lot of work for an old rimfire, ha ha, fun though working through all of this.
