The thing about the parabolic formula, is, you can play with numbers til you get the shape you want.
Mine was not pointed, in fact the elliptical I got was much more pointed than the parabolic I wanted.
I can't post a picture of the nose, but can give you the formula if you want to see if you can print it out.

See if you can make heads or tails of this and print the shape:

f(x)=.225(x/.72)^.32

this is the other info I gave him:

"The Diameter would be .454 and the nose length would be somewhere close to .700 but I guess whereever it got to that width.
total length of the bullet would be 1.45 "
