There is a great article in the January 08 issue of Guns and Ammo Magazine by Sam Fadala that I think you would like.It is the Sam Fadala who wrote the Black Powder Mling Handbook, anyway the title of the article is" Smackdown! Broad Meplat Bullets in .45-70 persuasion are proving that big and slow is the way to go"--which goes against the grain of most "fast and smaller" to match CF shooting. The article is not online that I could find, but here is a quote from it:



Basically the Bullstop and other conicals with the large flat meplathave great penetration and performance. One of the quotes said "accuracy is king, but penetration is queen", that is a great quote with regard to bullet performance on game. Anyway see if you can get a copy, 'cause itis an excellent read.Best Wishes,
