[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2186638, member: 1521"] Bullets can be fired backwards without issue. It's just that anyone doing it would need the common sense to back off the load, given more bullet area inside the case. Boat tail angle and length are designed to produce lowest drag through optimum laminar to turbulent transition/release. And it happens that a long pointy boat tail is not optimum. Nothing to do with barrel life [/QUOTE]
