[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3747670, member: 48072"] The old "bullet going to sleep" stories have been around for a long time. It would be quite the feat of physics for a bullet to reduce yaw in flight. However, boat tail bullets are less optimal for extreme accuracy at closer ranges as you eluded...has to deal with gasses escaping around the crown as the bullet exits the muzzle, and the fact that a boat tail design allows that to happen sooner/more.
