[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1304137, member: 7"] Consider this: The world's smallest group (0.009") was shot in 1973 with a "classic" cartridge - the plain ol' 222 Remington, and stood for 43 years - the record was shot at the time that the "new age" 6mm PPC existed, but it took 43 years to break it. Benchrest shooters do not shoot "hotshot" cartridges - their cartridges run in the 3,200 to 3,400 fps range - it doesn't take a very big cartridge to make that level. The 222's, PPC's and BR's are small stuff. They do not shoot heavy bullets - the typical bullets in short range bench are 52 grains in 224, and 62 to 68 grains in 6mm. Very heavy bullets used in 1,000 bench have heavy jackets and are not effective on game. Chambers can be made to fit any bullets - there are 223's shooting 90 grain bullets. Hi BC bullets are NOT "New Erea"... they have been around for a loooong time. [/QUOTE]
