[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1066729, member: 10291"] While I have had large rifles that were exceptionally accurate, I think that in general, within the ballistic capabilities of a given cartridge, a smaller cartridge has the advantage for precision and accuracy when all factors are taken into account. -Easier to shoot due to less recoil and pre-bullet exit, barrel movement -Less stress upon firing on the rifle and cartrifge components. -Greater availability of precision cartridge components due to use of smaller calibers in competition. All of these factors can be delt with to produce comparable accuracy but much more time and energy has to be applied to the shooting skills and the rifle/cartridge system, increasing the possibility for error.IMO [/QUOTE]
