Ooh, very interesting...
I occasionally shoot 200gr cast gas check (Lee mold) from my whisper but never with the can attached. I believe a plated bullet would take away my worries.
A 220-250 (maybe even heavier? I can dream can't I?) with whatever point it would take to keep from deforming in an autoloader (AR15 based) Just make sure it can be used in a standard AR16 magazine when loaded with a subsonic charge. I don't think a boat tail would be needed since at subsonic velocity the difference in drag/ballistic coeffecient would be insignificant.
Maybe a truncated cone? it would give a strong tip and acceptable ballistics. A pointed tip would be great for targets but not as good for hunting. Hollowpoint would be awesome but how would it affect the price and accuracy? Roundnose, well, they are out there and they are used but are only popular because there ain't much to choose from on the cheap end of the bullet scale.
