[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 665722, member: 48043"] I have been blowing flat base bullets down most of my bores for years. I use boat-tails mainly by happenstance, not choosing the bullet because it has a boat-tail. The 150 sierra is one fine shooting bullet in mid capacity 30 cal. I've been using it's equivalent in 7mm(the 140 pro hunter) in my 7 mag and my 7mmstw for years. They just work. Don't let the flat base fool you, they will get out there just fine. I made my longest kill with the 7mm 140 pro hunter; over 700 yards out sitting with no rest on a mule deer. The evening before I got a 2x2 buck at over 600 yards trotting with a 10 mph wind using the same sitting position (different hunting spot though) without a rest. They were both shot with a 7mm ultra doing 3425 fps with rl25 with the 140 fb sierra. I have huge confidence in the sierra's ability if you can get it to shoot well, and usually that's pretty easy.
