What do we really know about the transonic zone?

While looking for something else on my loading be this morning I found this, the rocket bullet.

It is 1.458" long, .444" in diameter and weighs 488 grains.

In the little bit of testing I did it shot well, but not better than other bullets and it was light for the caliber so I never did anymore with it. I had cut the mold for a friend and I believe he still has it.

The formula used to generate the nose shape is supposed to be something the aerospace people had developed for transonic rocket nose cones.

I personally prefer my bullets to be less pointed and a bit heavier.
