Default Round Nose Bullets - Who uses them?

With all the high tech, bonded, plastic tiped, high BC, good at any range / velocity, new fangled bullets on the market today, you wouldn't think that there was a place for the old fashoned, low tech, Round Nose bullets.

However, somebody's using them! Cause they are definitely availabe and in a multitude of calibers. I didn't check the other manufacturers, but Hornady offers one or more Round Nose bullets in all of the major calibers. (See list below)

.243 6MM, .257 25 CAL, .264 6.5MM, .227 270 CAL, .284 7MM-08, .308 30 CAL,
.312 303 CAL, .323 8MM, .338 338 CAL, .358 35 CAL, .375 375 CAL, .416 416 CAL
.458 45 CAL

Who out there is still using Round Nose bullets? Other than in lever guns......Why? In what caliber(s)? How do they perform on game?
