Question Any Round Nose Fans Left

A buddy of mine is a believer in BT'S had me load some for my 7MM. Grouped the best of anything I've shot in this rifle in it's 18 years of service. After the first doe at 75 yds. standing behind a Charlie Brown tree I put the scope on front shoulder pulled trigger and of she ran. Bullet hit a twig and deflected causing a brisket/gut shot. I got to thinking? Next 8 Pointer ranged 175yds behind shoulder pulled trigger ran 25 yds and an awesome blood trail. Ok these things are good but you are going to have to hunt them like you were bow hunting. All these years I've been using 154gr Hornady RN's and I have shot through larual,briers,clear cut brush and never thought twice about if I was going to hit the target. Now don't get me wrong These bts will do a number but my Question is if 300 yards is all you are going to be shooting in fields and some hunting is going to be in woods am I old fashion or does anyone else feel the RN'S are just as good?
Thanks
Benny
