Stan,
Are you thinking of a linear scale (length and diameter) or just reducing the diameter?
The linear scale would give a bullet right at 80 grains, while reducing the diameter would be about 92 grains.
This could be a path to getting 3000 ft/sec. The long nose may make up for the lack of boat tail for ranges typical of infantry engagements.
The design looks like it could readily tumble when hitting something.
