[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1901899, member: 2736"] In my opinion, the cartridge is not the issue. now days the shooting world is very fickle'd and will change direction In a heart beat when a new wonder cartridge comes out because of marketing or just a catchy name. Most of them don't replace anything and are just another cartridge that performs like other well known cartridges. If you think about it the cartridge is just a powder container and has very little if any bearing on accuracy. The type of weapon, The quality of the Smithing, The prowess of the reloader and most of all the ability of the shooter has the most impact on accuracy. As stated earlier a good cartridge will stand the test of time, the also ran will not. There is no perfect cartridge for everything, Just one that is good at one thing. With enough thought and quality work ANY cartridge can be accurate. In the hands of an expert shooter any cartridge can be impressive, but the most accurate rifle in the hands of a casual shooter is not impressive at all. these are the guys that think if they buy the latest designer cartridge, it will instantly make them a one hole shooter of groups. This all sounds very cynical But it is what it is, as they say. Just my opinion and beliefs J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
