remember, pressure is relative. a boat tail actually has more surface facing the bullet, and typically has less bearing surface.

My dad has been reloading for about 33 years now.  And he has told me for ever that boattails don't make any differnece unless you are shooting out to 600yds and beyond.  But I say screw that boatails look cool before they get loaded and they bring up the Ballistic Coefficientsey up of any bullet and when I look at bullets I look for the most ballistic coefficientsey that I can find.  And the bullet with the most is the nosler accubond 140gr.  Be careful when you are looking at ballistic tipped bullets most are for small game not big game.  The accubond is for big game and I shoot it in my .270 WSM.  As far as shooting out your barrel, unless you are shooting a load that gets up around 3200fps don't worry about it.  Talk to anybody that has shot a lot of .264 winchester and they will tell you its all about the speed.......

My 19 yr.old shoots a 270 win. and his rifle just loves the Federal Premium Vital-Shok 150 grain Nosler Partition. He's able to shoot tight groups and is really an accurate shot out to 400 yards. (hasn't tried anything further)

Prior to his 270 Win. he shot a 6mm and was not near as accurate as he is with this set up.

I shoot a .270 for mule deer and this year I went from previously using a 130 grain cartridge up to this year using a 150 grain Federal Fusion cartridge.  It shot like a champ.  Shooting my .270 is so much more enjoyable than my 300 win mag.
