Wouldn't FB and BT be different bullets? What I'm thinking is that FB has a longer bearing surface, which increases friction, requiring more pressure for equivalent MV. That should give you a different pressure wave ahead of the bullet in the steel and affect muzzle orientation at bullet exit... whipping at the same frequency perhaps, but possibly bullet exit at a different moment in the whip. If it's not at the node, you should get different dispersion. Without a tuner, same barrel but FB vs BT may result in different accuracy (but barrel-dependent). It's not an intrinsic difference between FB and BT, but should be a factor, no?

Am I crazy?
