[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 342080, member: 2567"] I can honestly say I have no idea on round nose or flat nose bullets because I have never shot them out of a rifle, due to all of my rifles being set up for longer range shots. Most lever actions use flat nose bullets and a lot of dangerous game rounds use a round nose solid probably due to the round nose making a bigger wound channel with a solid. I have used flat nosed bullets in some of my pistols like my 454 and they make impressive wound channels. One thing that I think is true, is that large bullets at a high velocity have a much different effect than large bullets at lower velocity as far as shock. With all of the big bore pistols out there right now, I still don't think you will see many DRT shots on charging grizzlies unless the shot takes out the central nervous system, ie spine, but a large diameter properly constructed bullet with enough weight will definately penetrate deep enough on a big bear to cause massive wound channels, but I don't think the kill will be from hydraulic shock on a handgun the way it could be with a rifle.
