Why Are Hollow-Point Rifle Bullets More Accurate?

This article in NRA Shooting Sports USA Michael Bussard – Sunday, August 19, 2018, discusses why hollow-point rifle bullets are more accurate.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

From 1920 until the mid-1950s, full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets remained the epitome for high power competition. Handloading was not common, so competitors relied on government arsenals for match-grade, .30-06 Spr. ammunition for use in the National Matches and other shooting events. Arsenal match ammunition was considered state-of-the-art and was perpetually in short supply. Ammunition lots performing particularly well were carefully hoarded, traded and fired judiciously. Naturally, government arsenals made what they knew best and had tooling for—FMJ bullets.

By the mid-1950s, improved match rifles were better than arsenal ammunition. This dilemma spurred improvements in ammunition and led many competitors into handloading. Sierra Bullets began offering match-grade, hollow-point boattail rifle bullets which offered significantly improved accuracy over FMJ bullets. As records tumbled, hollow-point boattail bullets increasingly ruled high power competition.

Vaavud Sleipnir Wind Meter For Smartphones

I had the opportunity to get my hands on the Vaavud Sleipnir Wind Meter for Smartphones today and I am impressed! All I did was download the app to my iPhone, open the packaging and plug-in the wind meter. I then stepped outside to test it. The results were instant, and included wind speed, wind direction, temperature and gustiness. There were several flags on houses around me that were blowing exactly the same direction as the app said the wind was blowing. While we cannot easily use any device while in position, the instant feedback provided should prove great when in prep and evaluating wind conditions across the course.

Here is a snapshot from app while I was using the device:
