The RBTO-4-S rebated boattail, open tip 4-die set
makes RBT bullets, which have higher BC than flat base
with up to 15% improvement in muzzle-blast induced bullet
dispersion compared to conventional boattails. The RBT
shoulder or step is typically about .015 inches. It acts
as a gas seal in the bore, and provides for deflection of
the muzzle blast gasses, so that the bullet shoots through
the clear air in the center of a ring of gas.
With a
conventional BT base, the muzzle gasses tend to flow around
the base and follow the bullet outline, breaking up in turbulence
ahead of the bullet. The difference shows up as a tighter
group compared to the BT, with higher BC than a flat base.
Corbin's DC-1001 bullet design calculator can be used to
find the difference in BC with flat, BT, or RBT bases when
all other factors are equal.
