[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 84466, member: 4785"] [b]Re: Most \"Inherently Accurate\" Cartridges[/b] There are 2 parts to the question the first part is irrelivent the most inherent accurate cartrige is the 6mm PPC but useless for any application where energy levels are an issue at 800 yards. the seccond thing what do you want to shoot" what energy is required that is the most important selection before we look at what rifle and cartrige combination as we all like clean dispatches of game. Any well built rifle should get you groups under 3" at 500 yards with practice not every group but when the conditions are right and the shooter has the brain turned on. With this in mind i would look at 6.5 and 7mm's unless the game is verry large where a 30 or 338 could be an option. now as a factory rifle a 260 rem on a Rem 700 VLS this gives you an option to rechamber it to 6.5-284 or 6.5x55 improved to give you verry good performance.
