That depends on your hunting terrain Lorenzo!
Round nose bullets would do for about 70% of all my antelope/deer hunting, that is a fact. BUT what would happen to my other 30% out here in the prairie, especially if I saw a huge buck?
Why limit myself? Plus with today's technological advancements I do not thing that round nose bullets have anything over spritzers. They expand and penetrate just as well if you choose wisely.

A 160-170 grain BT in .323.
There are a lot of non-mag (mauser) whitetail hunters shooting 150 to 170 grains.
Keep the more durable 180 grain BT for the 8mm Rem Mag and .325 WSM guys.

a reasonably priced .224 caliber bullet in the 50-55 grain range that is capable of working on deer sized game up to say 225 pounds yet still kill deer that weight 80 pounds.
a 25 caliber bullet that will give good accuracy out of a stock barrel and a ballistic coefficent that will allow me to reach 1000 yards.

I've been playing around a lot with the 6x47 Rem. Took a pronghorn buck at 300 yards with the BT 70 grain bullet would have liked the bullet to have held together better. I would love to see an AB in 70 grains or a Partition in the 80 grain.
I'd love to see the 200 grain .338 BT again as well for shooting in my .338-06.
I'd love to see as well a .358 bullet in the 200-215 range in the AB or BT, I just can't run the 225's through my Savage 99.
Wouldn't mind a 235 grain .375 BT or AB for my .375 JDJ as well.

My .22 Cal's are covered
Only have one .243 Cal - it's covered
.257 :grin: 115BT works great - AB in 120gr Would be nice for the Wby's
.260 :shock: 130gr AB works great ! 100gr Version would be cool :grin:
.270 - Covered AB's work great
.284>>>>> 120gr AccuBond PLEASE :!: :!: :!: :?: :?: The 7-08's would be all over this.
> .284 ? is there a reason for anything larger :wink:
And WOW - 95gr AB for the new 6mm's that are coming out - That will be a great deer / speed goat combo !

Camp perry will be having a vintage sniper match this year. I would love to see appropriate target bullets for the mosin nagant and 8mm mausers. There also is currently no bullet suitable for PSL type 762X54r rifles that require a ~150 grain bullet. I think the following bullets would be a good fit for holes in the current market. Been talking up your CC bullets on the C&R boards but not everyone shoots a 30 cal. Don't let me down 
.308 173 gr. FMJ M118
.311 150 BTHP
.311 168 BTHP
8mm 196 BTHP
Would also like to see a .311 174 gr Partition. This would be a fine fit for a general hunting bullet on game up to moose in all the mosin nagants and enfields out there. There is currently no premium bullet by any mfr in this diameter, and there are a lot of them out there.
Also like to give another vote for the 7mm 150 AB.
