Boat tails???

[Jack]

I agree with everything Joe, Rocky, and SKB have said.
SKB hit on something definitely relevant- lotsa reloaders pick boat tails because they are a bit easier to start into the case neck.
It is worth noting that long range (600+) match shooters use boat tail bullets- at those kinda ranges the slight advantage shows up.
It is also worth noting that the 100 and 200 yard match shooters use flat base bullets almost exclusively. They are after the absolute most accurate bullet (and world record small groups), and they find flat base bullets better at those ranges.
