[QUOTE="BergerFan222, post: 1261977, member: 88896"] I take care to re-zero a rifle with any change in the ammunition, even one that seems minor. Hornady is listing the same BC at their web site for the two loads, which seems unlikely. When other factors are comparable, usually the boattail bullet has the higher BC and will shoot flatter at long range when launched with the same muzzle velocity. As others have said, once it is sighted in at 200 yards or so, there won't be a big change in impact point until at least 300. Beyond that, you should check your drops on paper rather than trusting calculators or charts. [/QUOTE]
