[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 36391, member: 1521"] Lynn put it pretty well. Bigger cases, more powder(all else being equal). More powder to do the same thing means more recoil(which is bad for accuracy), and shorter barrel life. It also means more powder burn inconsistancies due to temps or inherent tolerances(kernal variations, case capacity differences,etc). +/- %5 of 50gr is better than the same variance @ 80gr. Precision shooters(Benchrest), achieve consistancy using the least amount of powder and capacity for a caliber. Accurate shooters(Varmint), turn to larger capacity wildcats to reduce drop % drift. They expend alot of effort with ammo & barrels. Tactical shooters(.308 crowd), more or less, split the extremes. They shoot plenty well, for a long time. They have more fun, really. [/QUOTE]
