I agree with reddog81 - I want good coverage, BUT on the ogive and nose are really just for looks.
A moot point inasmuch as with the "shake and bake" method (or even when using a powder coating gun), you pretty much cannot help covering the ogive and nose.
I have also noted that if the bullet alloy is too soft and the velocity is too high, the ogive can become part of the bearing surface. In any event, I prefer to encapsulate the entire bullet when I powder coat so I am not, from that point on, touching bare lead with my hands when I handle the bullets or the loaded rounds.
