For several decades, many hunters have found...
The nature of square base helps the jacket and core stay together at terminus (inside the animal).
The nature of boat tail helps it stay straight at long range where straight and flat are more important.
It takes quite a few rounds in medium and large game to start to see the difference.
In actual hunting use, both profiles kill dead if you hit the right spot. You choose.
No right or wrong to it, you make your best choice and hit the right spot on the animal.
For what it's worth, premium square base bullets like Sierra Pro Hunter, Nosler Partition, Rem Core Lokt, and so many others
have killed hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of game animals, as have premium boat tail bullets. They all work.
