[QUOTE="Black Hat, post: 2727701, member: 109036"] Flat base projectiles are more inherently accurate then boat tail, because the boat tail is not as easy to make uniform and consistent, which also allows for the expanding gasses to affect the projectiles exit from the muzzle. Even so, over long range, a boattail's ballistic benefits outweigh any manufacturing flaws and the effects of the overtaking gasses. As for hollow base, they are more of a pistol projectile which allows the base of the bullet to seal in the bore under pressure, it can also make a projectile longer without any weight increase for improved feeding.
