[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1213871, member: 313"] It has always been my understanding that it is easier, from a manufacturers' standpoint, to make flat base bullets more consistent. In typical benchrest matches there is virtually no need for the ballistic advantage of a boattail bullet so flat based bullets appear to be preferred. However, as manufacturing techniques get better, there may be no accuracy difference at some point. Maybe even today. [/QUOTE]
