A couple of days ago while sitting around talking to a couple of friends, the subject of shooting came up. (as it always does )

My one friend just bought a black Remington 700 Police "sniper" grade rifle. I forgot which one exactly, it is a BDL with the detachable magazine, in .308 Winnie. He is a cop and apparnetly only LEO's can get these. (Or so he says)

Anyway I digress, the rifle came with a box of mach grade Remington ammo, in hollow point. I started fishing around and noticed that more and more match grade ammo is showing up in hollow point. Now let's face some facts, my friends and I are wanna be high power shooters and accuracy freaks. Our coletive experience is seven matches between three guys. I lead the pack with four matches under my belt. I am a dyed in the spire point boat tail kinda guy. It seems to me with that hole in the front of the bullet, the way it cuts the wind would cause additional air turbulance at the back of the round. This turbulance would cause the bullet to cant up or down a bit, throwing off the accuracy.

Am I full of it? If so, can someone explain the ballistics.

Thanks
