[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1574944, member: 12995"] Lots of magnums are still setting records every year at 1K BR comps... The .300 Wby and .300 Ackley (.300 Wby Imp.), .300 WinMag, .308 Win, all of these hold and have held, or are still setting records or winning comps, or placing in the top 10 every year all over the country. I'm sure some 6.5-something is winning because it's more popular NOW than it was previously, but that doesn't mean it's more accurate, just means with more of them out there, there's more of a chance for one to win. Power of ratios. If "inherent accuracy" was real, then all of these recently so-hated belted cases wouldn't still be relevant, right? If certain cases are more accurate, you should test that theory by setting up 2 identical [B]SMOOTH-BORE[/B] 6.5mm barrel blank rail-guns chambered in 2 different similar capacity 6.5mm cartridges (6.5CM vs. .260 Rem), loading them to the exact same velocity, and testing their accuracy @ 100 yards. I say rail guns so there's no human error to factor in, because it's bolted into a 75-100 lb. metal sled and fired by remote. If one of them shoots significantly better than the other @ 100 yards, then I'll consider admitting that the theory of "inherent accuracy" is plausible. I said plausible, not definitively. Just wanting to clarify that. [/QUOTE]
