Usually, the nose will be mostly conical (hence the name "nose cone") with an opening at the top where you can place your non-pointed object(ping pong balls, etc.).
i also found something like tht " the ideal nose shape for vehicles that fly at subsonic speeds, defined as less than the speed of sound, is more rounded"
heres the website with a pic comparing drag on nose cones its the one about drag percentages a little while down the page http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/aerodynamics/q0151.shtml
