Dan, as to some of the answers I have received, one good shooter in Michigan claimed to have been shooting boat tails for years and the reason was that it was for better or smoother seating of the bullets and that flat base bullets would be damaged at the pressure ring. He went on to say that he had no proof that this was the best but his theory and his preference and it worked for him.
 From what I can tell it is the quality of the die and the jackets, everything else being held the same. The best shooting I have done was with 68 grain Berger moly,68 grain Watson's which were on a 7 ojive and Barts 66 grain wedge. All these bullets have differences, but I do believe the 7-8 ojive bullets are generally easier to tune.
 I suspect that the higher ojive and double tapers can possibly shoot better as I have experienced but they seemed harder to get back in tune when things went south, this being an agg killer

Thanks Rick for starting this Forum up. I have enjoyed the pics and the comments from everyone and it is interesting to see what the rest of the country is doing.

See Bill, you should have been using your wind flags
 I have never seen Bill set up windflags at a match that I can recall, but he does pretty darn good without them. I could never do it.
 

 Generally I have stayed away from moly for these very reasons. I used moly bullets for a while and they shot fine and everything went well enough  until it stopped shooting at about 1 thousand rounds. I was having the barrel set back and the bushing that fit in the muzzle would jam tight in the breech end with over an inch cut off. Well Joe had to scrub the bore out with jb for a while to get the build up out of it, but it never was the same again. As a note, even though every one who promoted it said you did not have to clean as often but I still did any how, so it was not for the lack of cleaning.
 On BR central there was a person who said that the orange abrasive hand cleaner got moly out pretty good.

Bill, I am glad you asked this question, let me go check

 Nope.

Bill's trailer is ideal for someone who attends many shoots and am surprised more people don't have them, he has it set up with a bunk and there is storage underneath as well as compartments all along the top corners. The toolbox on the front is for all cleaning supplies to keep all the odors of chemicals out of trailer.
 As far as Bill having another side..... well lets not go there.

Rob is right in the sense that there are so few shooters that to have a serious contest to make the team is pointless unless the world shoot was to be held in Canada or the US as that is the only way enough people will be interested.I cannot speak for everyone but from my experience it was an honor  to represent our country at the world shoot in 2005 and it was a truly unique experience. The problem is for many that it is a little hard to afford traveling internationally to shoots and not to be able to use components that your rifle likes or that you are familiar with. Without some confidence in your equipment, it is a leap of faith that you can do as well as you hope, but then again you may find something your equip likes and beat all of them. If I could afford to go I would definitely get in line to go more often.

 Congratulations Mike on you win!

 Congratulations guys, sounds like you all had fun, maybe even Jeffy . She must of got a little breezy!
