Back in the very early 20th Century the Germans figured out that a flat point FMJ had far better shocking and wound producing capabilities than any round nose bullet. Even a small flat meplat was better than any round nose and the bullet they used wouldn't even be considered a flat point today, more of a truncated cone.
No one in their right mind goes hunting today with a round nose cast bullet but lots of folks put down game of all sizes with flat nose Keith or LBT styles.
I've always wondered why the military never took that route?
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
