Are larger caliber rifles naturally less accurate?

[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1066553, member: 26430"] I came close to building a straight 284 Winchester, it's bore to case volume is almost identical to the 6xc so barrel life should be in the 2500-3000 round range, the 7mm bullets for their weight compared to a 30 cal of the same weight have an extraordinarily high bc and can be driven pretty darn quick from a 28" tube even using weights in the 180 grain range, though my 6xc will do the same as yours group wise it still suffers a fair amount as range increases with wind but that's to be expected with the lower bc. It seems as though the 30cal range is the true cutoff for truly match grade quality stuff in general. But I can say with absolute confidence that even with my factory 223, coke cans aren't safe at 600 yds as long as the wind settles down. [/QUOTE]
