I have found RN bullets to be great performers, particularly in 4 of my current rifles. The 200gr Hornady RN have been extremely accurate in my BLR-81 chambered in 358Winchester often shooting groups of less than 3/4" at 100 yards when the barrel is allowed to cool between shots. I have to agree that round nose bullets do seem to hit hard in the woods ranges where I do roughly 90% of my hunting. I have nothing against spitzer bullets, they too have their place. But when the average of all the deer I've killed is less than 70 yards I really could hunt without them. My longest shot ever was just under 150yards so I certainly haven't had to have them. But I do occasionally hunt thinned timber and clear cuts where shots can range 250 - 300 yards. It's because of the odd chance that I hunt the open spots that I have three bolt guns set up with spitzers(25/06, 7mm-08, 30/06). I do hope to use those spitzers someday but until then ill keep killing deer with round nose and flat point bullets!
