RE: What's the best nose shape for long range shooting?
The thing I find with the MB at the long range shoots is they shoot well but it takes a 16 or 17 twist in the .44's driven hard with the .44-2-5/8 BN and the 2.6 Rem ST with a 100 grain load of powder.
Brent is doing fine with his .45-70 pushing his prolate with 82 gr plus loads but he is having stability issues also. But maybe it's the powder or something going to hell the way it's been going for him. So it's hard to say. In the past he has used some blunt nosed bullets and switched to the pointy bullets.
I try not to lock myself into just one way of doing things, I look at what is working best for me with the rifles I have and the alloy and patched diameter that I see having good results. The alloy is the biggest factor as well as bullet balance matched to the rifling twist. And most of all is the time being the butt plate finding what will work. I just wish I still had the steady posture and the younger eyes I once had but at 80 things start to go down hill to a point.
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
