This video explains that while boat tail bullets often boast higher ballistic coefficients (BC) for marketing, flat base bullets are frequently more accurate for hunting and target shooting up to 300 yards due to better muzzle exit consistency. The speaker details the history of ballistics, the development of BC standards like G1 and G7, and argues that for most practical applications, the perceived advantages of boat tails are minimal compared to their sensitivity to bore imperfections. Flat base bullets are recommended for their superior accuracy and core retention in typical hunting scenarios.
