[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1299546, member: 41122"] The berger will get the nod in this scenario. The simple fact that a bullet has a boat tail does not gain it anything. You can actually design a boat tail that has just as much drag as a flat base. For a long time, nosler's boat tails were too short, and too steep, so that they pretty much did nothing. Add this to the fact that boat tails are harder to produce than a fb bullet, typically dont release as well, and encourage muzzle blast around a bullet, and you basically spent more time to make a bullet shoot worse.
