That is an outstanding link.
Key take-away for me:
“c. For bodies of high fineness ratios, care should be exercised in designing boattailed configurations because of significant effects of boattailing on aerodynamic characteristics relative to square based designs.

- I guess I won’t be buying short boattails with too pointy of a tail -
