[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 356973, member: 7848"] The boat tail increases BC, which reduces both drop and wind deflection. How much of an effect the boat tail has depends on it's length and angle. Also remember that the boat tail reduces the bearing surface length compared to a similar weight flat base bullet. The reduction in in-bore friction can mean higher MV. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
