I like the look and taper my own, whether or not is makes a difference-no idea. [dunno]

Great read great! I was referring to ashby's report on how the tapered shaft passed through for greater penetration when encountering bone. The hole created from an 11/32 ferrel makes less resistance for the 5/16 that follows.
"8. Shaft profile - Tapered shafts show an 8% penetration gain over parallel shafts and a 15% gain over barrel tapered shafts. Barrel tapered shafts often used by long range target shots are the worst for penetration."
