[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 357784, member: 13833"] IMO the rebated boat tails are the way to go. I make my own in .308 and they perform very well at 100 yards as well as 1000. Having said that, I've also had Bergers , A-Max and SMK shoot near one holers at 100 yards as well so go figure. The idea with the rebate is to insure uniform gas pressure as the bullet leaves the barrel. A normal boat tail has a greater chance of being unequal (unless the bevel is perfect) Apparently many of the normal boat tail manufactures are near perfect:D:D....Rich [/QUOTE]
