[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 652712, member: 24624"] Whereas boattails have multiple angles converging on the shank from both ends, they tend to be a little more complicated to manufacture. Thus, flat bottom bullets are arguably a hair more consistent when they exit the muzzle. As such, FB bullets are generally preferred for benchrest accuracy out to some distance. ...100-300yds. 400-500 may be a gray area depending on wind conditions of the day. After 500yds, BC becomes a bigger factor. Hence, boattails dominate long range. Also, lighter for caliber bullets tend to be FB and varminters seeking extra velocity to either vaporize critters or achieve flatter trajectory to minimize dialing and holdover tend to lean towards those lighter bullets. -- richard [/QUOTE]
