Riflehunter: many of us don't need or want to shoot deer at over 300 yards. Bullets with a BC of about .4 (ore even less, gasp!) have worked fine for me since I took my first deer in 1955. I even find round nose bullets to be effective in many situations.
If you want, or need, to shoot deer at longer ranges, more power to you. No need to denigrate the vast majority of hunters for whom shooting at long range is not important or not possible.
