Speer Boat-Tail jacketed soft point bullets in .25 caliber, 120 grains (Speer part no. 1410), are designed for rifle hunting, using the tapered heel that gives the bullet type its name to reduce aerodynamic drag and hold a flatter trajectory at extended ranges. The jacket tapers from a thicker section at the shank, keeping retained weight high after impact rather than shedding mass on contact. For .25-caliber rifle hunters who shoot at longer ranges where bullet drop and wind drift matter, the boat-tail profile provides a real ballistic advantage over a comparable flat-base bullet.
