I think it is true that a pointed, polymer tipped bullet will have a slight higher Ballistic Coefficient than a corresponding hollow-point, but this does not mean a difference in accuracy. My guess is that it would take hundreds of rounds fired from the same rifle to establish a statistically reliable difference in accuracy of the two types of bullets.
