Never get to old to learn , so I am asking . i know the flat based bullets are good to 300 yds as that is part of score shooting ranges . I have read the boat tail is better at longer ranges . I have not shot longer ranges as my experience in competition has been 100 yds and 150 yds or less at big game .
But was wondering if the oprotunity arose how would they fare at longer ranges ?

I think the entire fairy tail of needing BT bullets for long ranges was foisted on the public as a selling point and they swalloed it hook line and sinker/ Look at some of the long distance Sharps firing lead bullet records
