When you're looking at the speed and force a railgun is firing at, pointed tips for penetration are not as important; the projectile is going to flatten out anyways.

Sentry; the rounds being used for IRL railguns don't really matter, this is fiction.

Regardless, the form of projectile used for a fictional rail weapon is mostly personal preferance of the user. My character Argento Caden uses canister shaped slugs for his Ballistarium. (which, sniper railgun ftw)
