It may well have a conventional ogive nosecone, since that's the most common
commercially-available style.

'Course, we might could turn a plug, cast a mold around it, and then lay 
up some structural cloth therein to form a nosecone of such shape as we
desired. 

However, that's a lot more work than just buying one. Ogives seem to be
a reasonable choice over a wide speed range.
