I've come to prefer round noses. I've taken 1 deer at 200 yards, 150 grain PMC factory loaded .30-30, one at 150 yards, that with a muzzleloader and a 250 grain .45 caliber Hornady XTP.
The balance of my 54 deer have all been at 100 yards, or less. My 9 pointer this year, dropped to a 200 grain round nose Core Lokt, 7 feet from the muzzle of my .35 Remington.
I find no advantage to spitzers for my kind of hunting. Round noses tend to be kinda soft and make gooey chests even at modest velocities.
