They're pointy enough to prick your finger on, and the ogive is large enough to push that point into the chamber on my rifles.  No nose diving into the edge of the chamber.  If I had more of the alloy that I cast Paul's with, I'd commit to using them at Camp Perry even though I've already purchased some 173gr .310 diameter FMJBTs to experiment with.  I've long liked the idea of using bullets made myself.  I know the NOE 311284 can be seated out enough to contact the rifling and still be short enough to function through the magazine.  Another candidate for use.
