In my opinion the advantages of weight forward as larger meplat bullets have outweighs BC of pointy bullets. I do like the rounded nose of the Money Bullet style though, which is a nice combination of weight forward without being a spire point, and better BC than flat points.

Of course our bullets aren't coming into the atmosphere at 24,933 fps (that's 17,000 mph) and besides, the rockets are coming in butt first.

But of course they don't launch and reach 24,933 fps butt first, and don't re-enter our atmosphere butt first, although they do land butt first. Kind of like comparing apples and oranges.

I cannot tell any difference in accuracy or wind drift. I certainly can see a difference on the target. The flat nose bullet holes are easier to see. 

"A spitzer/spire point bullet breech seats easier."  You got me on that one.   

Ballistically a rocket is much longer compared to diameter than any bullet. Tough to compare a rocket traveling through the atmosphere to bullet shapes that are stubby. At some point bullets begin to destabilize, and the heavy base tries to pass the lighter point. It happens sooner with pointy bullets.

marlinguy  Bullets may/ do destabilize but certainly not at any range we are concerned with. Extreme long range rifle bullets are still stable at, well, extreme long range. Those bullets look very much like the proverbial rocket ship. And for good reason.

Bullets start out unstable and will return to being unstable I believe Dr. Mann has already proven that to hold true. I do believe distance does play a very important part in regards to the best accuracy for the specific distance being shot. An example might be the powder charge I use for 100 yards is not the same as what I use for 200 yards in regards to shooting the smallest groups. I honestly do not know why but I do believe it has to do with the bullets stability in flight at each of those specific distances that are being shot. As far as flat nose, round or spitzers go your rifle will let you know which one it likes the best. And I have also found that its preference can change depending on which distance is being shot. The Spitzer might be better at 100 yards and the flat nose at 200 yards or vice versa so you just need to go out and find out what works out to be the very best for yourself.
