Well this ought to fire up the coals already this morning...

If you must use conicals - then i totally agree Bull Shop conicals are the way to go, but if you have your choice of conicals and real modern projectiles the modern projectile is the way to go especially out here in the west with extended ranges and very often the animals will not pose for you nor do you get to shoot them in the conditions that you would choose.

The factor that you overlook often is speed kills. The longer the bullet is in flight the more varibles that can act on it. The reason for dumping conicals in the first place... in fact the one of the reason conicals replaced round balls.

Your vision of more power really is not significantly true either. The modern projectile will give you far better trajectory and time to target, not to mention less varibles.

Here is a comparison of a 460 grain conical to a 300 grain Nosler with a lower BC than the 460.... Compare power/drop/time to target & energy... think I'll take the 300.
