Just an addendum to what Coop said.
It's true that pointy bullets are ballistically superior at long range, but there is so little difference inside 250 yards that if you fired two shots at the same target, one with a pointy and the other with a roundie, you couldn't correctly tell which bullet made which hole 95% of the time. Average group size is larger than the drop factor most of the time.
Because very few game animals are actually shot beyond 250 yards, there is also no DISadvantage to using roundnoses.
