What are the benefits of 2 V/S 1 or vice versa?
Thanks fellas,

What are the benefits of 2 V/S 1 or vice versa?
In simple terms: A better ballistic coefficient versus a longer bearing surface.
If I recall correctly, an ogive of one means the radius leading up to the point is the same as the bullets diameter. An ogive of 1.5 means the radius is 1.5 x bullet diameter, and so on...
Morgan is right; the flatter the nose the smaller the ogive. A wadcutter has an ogive of 0 where a pointed boolit may have one of 3 or 4.

Yup, better ballistic coefficient but the boolit or bullet has to be longer for the same weight. In some gun feeding can be affected too.
