I have been struggling to “easily” create a round shaped object with the use of the loft tool. On circles I only get one connection point, which does not help me in what I try to accomplish. Hopefully the attached picture shows what I try to model.  
Thanks for your help in advance and Happy new year!

As I see it’s not rotaded body.  
In this case you need more cros section for the nose, or horizontal and vertical guidelines, but you can,t make totally round nose , you need a very small section on the end.

See my old vid (it was made by an older Shapr3D vesion), the last nose oval section is ~0,2x0,5 mm, what I rounded fillet tool.

Hi JST, thanks for your reaction! Watched your video and yes, this is how I created the silver object. I found it quite intensive and was thinking because I was using only circles there might be a quicker way……. now I know!  
Cheers,
