I'm thinking something that is firm and slick, yet has some give to it might help. I know that the shape of a bullet tip has little to do with its accuracy, so this is more for appearance sake - the 'feel good' factor.

Although, one might be able to argue that the BC of a bullet is adversely affected by a deformed tip, and that POI at long range might be affected to an unknown degree as you worked down through the magazine. Each bullet that sits in there through the recoil of the preceding rounds could be deformed by a different/increasing amount.
