[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 931885, member: 1521"] I'm referring to muzzle blast across the back of the bullet. A flat base presents smaller area than boat tail area, and it's perpendicular to centerline(rather than more parallel). Flat base bullets generate considerably more base drag, which pulls back center of pressure to shorten the Cg to Cp moment arm. [/QUOTE]
