[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1261810, member: 10178"] In my many years of experience with bullets some rifles just don't like BT bullets. Same rifle often will be a tack driver with flat base bullets. Inside 300 yards many rifles will shoot much tighter groups with flat base bullets than boat tail. The boat tail bullets do not settle down stabilization wise as quickly as flat base bullets. At longer ranges, 300 yards and longer is where the BT bullets shine. They have less drag and the wind does not effect them as much. Like has been said at close range you may get lucky and have either shoot the same but not at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
