Ammunition & Hand Loading > Cartridge and Shotshell reloading
I am finally handloading .223
Randy:
Boat Tails also have a better coefficient of drag thud are faster.
SBarry:
The back of the bullet affects accuracy. If something happens to the flat back bullet while loading, it could cause the bullet to tumble.
A lot of years ago, I believe it was a European country, tried to make thier 556 bullets tumble to cause more damage when hitting a human torso. They basically ground a uneven point on the tip of the bullet, which did nothing to make it tumble. I saw some of these at Grand Island gun show a year ago. A fellow NFOA member had them. I signed him up, don't think he participates on the forum though.

I *think* they're more accurate too. IIRC, most match bullets have boat tails.
BTW, when did you place that order with Powder Valley? I have an order from April I'm waiting on...

I was just seeing a lot of flat based varmint bullets that were available, while all the FMJBT are sold out.
