[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 917828, member: 12995"] I have a .308 Win thumping 210 VLD's in almost 1 hole... Just because it's a smaller caliber doesn't mean it's more accurate. I just got my .25-06 Ackley back and fire-formed some brass yesterday. Fire-forming I was wearing out the 1" orange dots @ 100 yards... It's not necessarily about bore diameter...Some calibers are just naturally more accurate than others. For example, Weatherby calibers CAN be accurate, but tend to be fairly finicky. Atleast, my .257 Wby Accumark is. For a MSRP $2,100 rifle, I am not all that impressed with the precision accuracy aspect of it. For hunting, it is MORE than adequate, but IMO, a rifle that expensive should be shooting 1/2" groups out of the box...Not 1" and sometimes 3/4" if the wind blows right. You know? However, you look at the Remington rifles or custom rifles chambered in .257 Wby and they are tack-drivers. Guess Weatherby needs to start stepping up to the plate. Sorry for the rant, but it is kind of frustrating when tou have to take a rifle that expensive to a gunsmith to "accurize" it to see if it's even capable of 1/2 MOA groups. Anyway, after shooting my newly built .25-06 Ackley, I higly recommend it! Smooth, low recoil, accurate, fast. It's the perfect caliber, other than the fact that .25-06 brass is nowhere to be found for the last 3 friggin months... [/QUOTE]
