BTHP rifle bullets are often used in competitive shooting and also known as open-tip match (OTM) bullets. Despite having a hollow tip similar to hollow point defense purposed pistol rounds, their performance should not be confused.
The open tip on BTHP bullets is a carryover from the method used for their construction and BTHP’s are NOT designed to expand upon impact like hollow tip pistol bullets. The BTHP open tip enhances the bullet’s aerodynamics while in flight and many believe this type of bullet to be one of the most accurate bullet construction methods. The boat-tail shape is in reference to the shape of the base of the bullet and how it is tapered like the shape of a boat. This boat-tail shape reduces the effect of drag on the bullet as it flies through the air. These bullets often have higher ballistic coefficient and are flatter shooting across when considering the entire bullet trajectory and make this bullet type the quintessential long-range firing bullet.
