The question of bevel bases, boat tails and in my case a chamfered base arises quite often. I'm beginning to think it's not the best idea. The reason being that the patch tail doesn't come off quickly enough if the boolit base is not sharp and square.
The captured boolet was caught up close. The patch tail was picked up a few meters from the muzzle. The patched boolit shows the chamfered base.
This is what a base should look like in my opinion.
