[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1067076, member: 1521"] I think GreyFox hit it. I'll add a couple more; The smaller cartridge can run faster powder, and higher pressures for lower ES and lower muzzle pressures(cleaner bullet release). If you put the same design effort into 2 guns, the smaller cartridge gun holds accuracy advantage -until BC takes over as dominate. Given this, accuracy-wise, you're better to choose the smallest cartridge that suits intent(not the largest). On thing I've learned over the years is that accuracy in itself is VERY powerful.
