I have a curiosity question. I know every gun is different, such and such, but do those of you who have loaded the 139 grain flat based and also the boat tails, notice a lot of difference in how they shoot?
As far as charge weight, velocity, accuracy, etc?
Reason being, I've always heard that flat based bullets are "easier" to obtain accuracy up to ~300 yards over their boat tail brothers. I have some boat tail bullets coming(Hornadys get loaded program) and I am not sure if I want to mess with them or leave them unopened and trade for flat based ones.
I'm only looking to use them up too 300 yards so I am not that concerned with the boat tails added efficiency. Just using them for hunting, so if there is minimal difference in how they shoot then I wont be too concerned. I've just not messed with boat tail bullets in any caliber much, much less used them and compared results to flat based ones.
