[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 357369, member: 7999"] Back to the boat tails. Does the long hunter that works out to 1000 yrds really benefit from the boat tail? I know that it is a very general question, but I am not convinced that it is not more of a sales gimmick than a benefit. It's not like we have a lot of choice, they pretty much all have the boat tail, unless you look at short range bullets. I think, but I'm not sure, that we all agree that a flat base bullet is inherently more accurate. Do we gain enough from the boat tail to off set the accuracy? The nose design is the most responsible for how the bullet performs in flight. Am I wrong? As the bullet slows the boat tail becomes more important? Steve PS I have very much enjoyed the discussion.
