[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 403935, member: 2736"] Flat based bullets are best at shorter distances .And boat tailed bullets are better at longer distances because the BCs are almost always higher making them more stable at these long distances. If you are shooting at 100 yards try 400+ with both boat tailed bullets an flat base bullets and I think you will find out what bullet to use. I use a lot of flat based bullets for short range because of accuracy and the boat tail bullets are not nessary. A lot of bench rest shooters use flat base bullets at the 100 and 200 yard matches. I dont know the exact reason for this phenomenon but some say it's because the bullet exits the crown cleaner with less blow by at that exact moment. Maybe one of the bullet smiths will shed some light on the reason. So shoot what shoots best at the distance you plan to shoot. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
