Well fellas after looking over a multitude of bullets what puzzles me a tad are the very small differences in so many bullet configs at or around 500 grs give or take[specifically greasers]. Given these slow velocities it would seem to be more shooter/individual preference than an actual #1 best overall design as I see many different mould manufacturers represented with the competitive target crowd.

"Given these slow velocities"
It ain't necessarily how fast a bullet starts out; rather what's it still doing when it gets to where one wants it to go! I once ran a comparison betwixt a 155 gr. Palma bullet starting out at 3000 fps vs a 550 gr. bullet from a Sharps starting out at 1250 fps...out to 1000 yds. IIRC...the 155 was down to 1400 fps or lost over half of its starting speed. The 550 gr. was still trucking along at around 900 fps so as for considerations...IMO the Sharps bullet is slightly more efficient.
