A hollow-point boat-tail ( HPBT ) bullet is a match grade bullet design that uses the concept of a teardrop-like shape to give it a lower drag coefficient and make it produce less turbulence in its wake.

For a streamlined body to achieve a low drag coefficient the boundary layer around the body must remain attached to the surface of the body for as long as possible, causing the wake to be narrow.

A high form drag results in a broad wake.

Drag due to a wake is Newtonian drag, increasing with the square of the velocity.

These viscous forces cause friction drag on streamlined objects, and for bluff bodies the additional result is flow separation and a low-pressure wake behind the object, leading to form drag.

In order to have a non-zero drag on the body, the wake region must extend to infinity.

The low pressure in the wake region causes form drag, and this can be larger than the friction drag due to the viscous shear stress at the wall.

Form drag is due to the effect of the boundary layer and thin wake on the pressure distribution around the airfoil.

The basic concept of compression lift is well known ; " planing " boats reduce drag by " surfing " on their own bow wake in exactly the same fashion.

The turbulent boundary layer is able to remain attached to the surface of the ball much longer than a laminar boundary and so creates a narrower, low pressure, wake and hence less pressure drag.
