Default RE: 150 grain round nose in .270?

It's an unproven fact that a round nose bullet is better than a pointed bullet for shooting through brush. Many studies have been done on this and all of them came out with the same conclusion...there are no consistentcies from study to study. With shots being under 150yds, I would go to a 150grn bullet of any make just to reduce bloodshot meatcompared toa higher velocity 130grn, as long as the 150 shot accurately. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against round-nose bullets. I just don't think that a probable brush shot should be the main reason to load them.
