What's the best nose shape for long range shooting?

[rdnck]

EVERYBODY is sub sonic or at least trans sonic by the time they reach 350 yards in BPCR. We don't need a bullet that works best in the supersonic range, we need one that works best when it is sub or trans sonic. I remember my very first telephone conversation with Paul Jones more than 25 years ago when I called him to order one of his bullet molds for silhouette. His molds were all the rage at the time, and he proceeded to start telling me about this kick ass 1000 yard--his exact words--bullet he had. I interrupted him and told him I didn't need a 1000 yard bullet, I needed a 200 to 500 meter bullet. He really didn't appreciate my input and sent me one of his 540 grain Creedmoor bullets for my 45-70 anyway. I wound up looking for something better, and like a lot of other guys, became a member of the mold of the month club for a while. Then I joined the mold of the week club and after that I began to appreciate the Lyman Postell. Targets don't lie. I bought over a dozen molds from Paul Jones, and more than that from Steve Brooks, BTW. I was shooting about five cases of powder a year at the time. BTDT. Shoot straight, rdnck.
