[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 656027, member: 5302"] For what it's worth, when I shot matches with Sierra's first ballistic tech and he was giving me a second tour of their plant in California, we talked about boattail vs. flat base bullet accuracy. He said that in the thousands of rounds of each he's fired in rifles, boattail bullets shot most accurate from best quality match barrels. The flat based ones shot most accurate from rifle company factory barrels and standard service rifle barrels that boattail ones. This was at their 100 yard test range in Santa Fe Springs. I've no experience shooting flat based bullets for accuracy. The above aside, benchresters these days seem to get best accuracy with flat based bullets up through 200 yards in their excellent match grade barrels. But they don't use mass produced bullets for the most part at short range; they're usually custom made ones. Sierras and Bergers do well enough at the longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
