I’m drywalling and using bullnose for the first time. What is the best cutting method (plastic bullnose)? Do corner joints get covered and eased with caulk and fingertip? Any other tips?

I think you will find the plastic trim will cut very nicely using a miter saw with fine tooth, sharp blade, and a slow advance of the blade.
Regular vinyl corner bead does.
Past that, no first hand experience with bullnose, therefore, no sage words of wisdom.
Other better informed sources will comment.

Thanks Jim.
I say plastic but it is most likely specifically vinyl.
There are premade pieces for that. I've never used them or done it, so I can't offer any additional help. I hope this link works.

Copy and paste into browser or search drywall bullnose corner.
Thanks,
the link worked. The good part is it mentions that the corner insert saves mitering (which means mitering will work for the 4, yes four, corners I need to deal with.)
Thanks again.
Hang the rock back a little on the Outside corners, the bead will fit better. We use metal round bead, with plastic corner parts. Think most of the Big boxs carry the parts. We also use a narrow crown stapler to install most bead on wood frame.
