What do we really know about the transonic zone?

The original postel nose shape works about as good as any in my rifles. The money bullet/redesigned Metford will shoot a little flatter , but not a lot. No matter the nose shape, I'm pretty firmly convinced that keeping the bullet length to just under what the twist will stabilize eliminates a lot of the unexplained odd shaped bullet strikes and dirt diggers, especially in a cross wind.
