I used to shoot a lot of Norma 139 gr round nose, but now Lapua Naturalis Bullets {264 Caliber, 6.5mm (264 Diameter) 140 Grain Round Nose Lead-Free} are available.

Why do you want the obsolete round nose bullet?

It used to be believed that the round nose would deflect less through brush, but test after test (many published articles) shows that they actually deflect more than "pointed" bullets. When round nose are compared to spire points, spire points are more accurate and better ballitically.
