Rangefinder, all bullets have some stability issues as they slow down transitioning the speed of sound in flight. But boattail's on bullets mean they lose velocity slower than flat based ones. They have higher BC's and lower drags than the flat based ones. Therefore, boattail bullets will have less vertical shot stringing from muzzle velocity spread at long range compared to flat based ones leaving at the same muzzle velocity and spread.
