| Why is everything competition or match grade a wadcutter? Wouldn't a pointed tip have the best trajectory, or at least better than a wadcutter? |

| They are designed to be shot at velocities not exceeding 600fps at distances no further than 15 meters. With maximum accuracy, and the ability to punch a clean hole in paper. |

In addition, Round Nose pellets NOT Pointed have the best ballistics coefficients (ability to maintain velocity and energy).... Wadcutters are, of course, the worst in that regard....

| IIRC Crosman pointed hunters have a fairly good BC even though they are pointed. Maybe because of their rounded over points. |

You are correct.... Crosman pointed are close to round nose in BC....
