[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2387383, member: 104002"] Back in another life I had a graph based on projectile diameter, length, velocity and twist needed to stabilize. Unfortunately knowing the bullet speed at various distances was difficult to calculate except boat tail remained stable for some distances after the flat base became unstable. The graph gave the boat tails a 10% advantage over the flat base. Based on this information you have two options, 1 increase velocity or find a suitable bullet a little shorter in length. Would also be useful to try boat tails that will extend the distance it becomes unstable. [/QUOTE]
