[QUOTE="liltank, post: 292508, member: 13275"] I'll try and be as short with this explanation as possible. Boat tail bullets where specifically designed to fly longer and farther than flat base bullets. Here's the theory and there has been some proven factor to this. Flat base bullets will generally shoot more accurately at shorter distances than boat tails. Shorter distance is approximately 300-600 yards. Past that distance is where the boat tails tend to shine. Flat base bullets will stabilize and fly truer in shorter amount of time. Sometimes a boat tail bullet requires more flight time to truly stabilize and follow a true accuracy node. Some shooters will zero at 200 yards just for this very reason. You are seeing a result of this theory. I'm sure others will chime in with their opinions and I am interested to see their explanations. What I have just explained was told to me by both a very aged shooter that is very knowledgeable and a gunsmith with just about the same amount of experience. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
