[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 460700, member: 4491"] i think you'll find this is why the highest BC bullets have a secant ogive instead of tangent. they actually push the air off the side(bearing surface) of the bullet and then it comes back against the boat tail which helps it go through the air easier. i don't think the variences in the baring surfaces makes much difference in BC. maybe Bryan or one of the knowledgable bullet makers will chime in on this.
