None.
I am using Lead pencils for last 7-8 years.
Currently using Faber Castell's red lead pencil which costed me around 20-25rs.
Generally for common purposes such as note making or underlining.
One thing I have noticed that the leads are generally 60mm.
but the bottom part(maybe 8-10mm) of lead is wasted because it can't fit in the mechanical part of pencil and it just pops out.
Any recommendation to tackle this issue?

I guess that wasting of lead is the case with every lead pencil over there. Been a while since I have used lead pencils . But Uniball makes good lead pencils. Good grip and fine lead opening
Costs around 60 bucks for one

I usually rationalize the wasting of the last few mm of the lead by assuming that much more lead would've been wasted while sharpening a wooden pencil till its end of life.

Push a new lead behind the old one and it works well, atleast in the pencils
that I used during my student days in engineering.

I have a couple of Rotring Tikky 0.7 (0.3, 0.5, 0.9 and 1mm) which work well
this way as their mechanical movement is excellent. My oldest pencil (0.7mm)
was bought way back in 1996.

Get them offline in stationery shops. They are way too expensive on the e-commerce
sites.
