[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 356958, member: 7999"] Bryan, Thanks for joining in. Can you talk more about the boat tail. It was explained to me years ago that the boat tail has more to do with the shock wave of the bullet in flight that the air friction. As the bullets slows down the shock wave moves back toward the tail of the bullet extending the maximum range of the projectile. So in a war situation the side with boat tails doesn't have to get as close to the enemy to be effective. Thanks, Steve [/QUOTE]
