I use pointed bullets in any big game rifle I use except in tubular magazines, and I also never try to shoot a game animal by shooting through anything else.
The superior down range performance of pointed bullets is absolutely proven. Although there is no absolute proof about which type of bullet deflects more than another, there is absolute proof that all bullets deflect. Since all bullets deflect, I long ago decided that shooting through any kind of bush was not a good idea.
I can't do anything to keep a round nosed bullet from slowing down and losing energy because of its shape. I can easily just not shoot if there is anything between me and the animal. For me, there is no advantage at all to using RN bullets, but there are definite ballistic advantages to spitzer shapes.
