I'm pretty sure Sierra has them.

I know plenty of guys use them and I have used them myself. They work and in some cases better than spitzer bullets. Unless you just have the need for some nostalgic ammo there really isn't a reason these days for shooting them...esspecially in the eastern half of the country.
Typewriters work......computers work better.
round nose bullets work....in most cases for medium game, spitzers work better.
Good luck and your best bet for finding them is in bulk from places like Midway or MidSouth.

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.

I have seen a few articles about this. There may be a theoretical advantage to using a slower heavier bullet. In real life, there isn't. You can't predict what a bullet will do going through brush.
Simply changing shape will have even less effect.
