[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 345335, member: 6504"] True. The .22-250 is inherently a very accurate cartridge. Ej, Don't blame the cartridge; blame the rifle or the shooter. If the rifle is not set up properly, or if the cartridge is not set up properly for the rifle, or if the rifle has problems with the chamber, trigger, barrel, etc., etc., you can have the greatest cartridge in the world in your rifle, and your accuracy will still be poor. Have you wrung out the rifle at the range with different bullet-seating depths; is your rifle old, is the barrel old or of poor quality and/or has it suffered from poor cleaning technique, etc.? Or....the problem could be with the scope or with the scope mounting. There could also be problems with the fit of the stock to the receiver and barrel. There are a ton of things that could cause inaccuracy, and if the cartridge has been constructed properly, the problem lies elsewhere, not with the cartridge. It would be foolish to bail at this time on the .22-250. You might want to have the rifle checked by a friend who is a bench rest shooter or by a gunsmith to rule out problems with the rifle. I am certain we have all been frustrated by poor accuracy, but the answer lies somewhere. Now you get to be the detective and find out where the culprit is. [/QUOTE]
