A friend of mine loaded those 154 grain round nose Hornady bullets for another hunter who didn't handload. The hunter had a 7mm Weatherby Magnum rifle and frequently went to Africa, where he used those bullets on pretty much everything. He loved them, and claimed they were the deadliest bullets ever. I saw his mounted trophies, and he had a bunch. This was some 30 years ago. Both men have gone to the happy hunting grounds. At one point my friend loaded some other bullets for the hunter's Weatherby, and he was furious.
Regarding round nose bullets, here in the Northeast Remington round nose ammo has long been a favorite. Somewhere in Jack O'Connor's work I read that he felt the 180 grain round nose Core-Lokt bullet was an excellent bullet which he had never known to fail. They are no longer sold as components, but I still have more than 100 of them salted away.
