[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2186612, member: 48043"] I don't sit and dwell about fb vs. boat tail. Most rifles have tight enough bores to seal rather well (with obduration) with either bullet. I also don't really worry about how far out I'm using a flat base bullet. My farthest kill right now is at about the 1/2 mile mark with a flat base. I usually hunt spot and stalk with a big enough rifle to reach out if needed. Some of my rifles are set up a bit more for lr (a 300rum I own is running a 225 hdy hpbt and my 7rum tosses 175 eld-x) and some run mid weight fb pills . My 7rum killed last year at 500yds with a high cross wind and my kid got his doe last year at 405 yards with a 140 sierra fb from a 7rem using (gasp) rl22. [/QUOTE]
