RE: inherent accuracy
The original topic was a question as to the " inheritant accuracy of three WSM (.270, 7MM, and .300) cartridges. I challange anyone to make a case to show one is " inheritantly" more accurate than the other.
One might argue that there' s more .30 cal bullets available and that makes for a higher chance to find a " sweet" load in a .30 cal..that granted...there' s a heck of a lot of .270 and 7MM bullets out there too.
To insinuate that a cartridge is accurate because it " inherited it" from it' s lineage is simply a misnomer.
I' ve had 6PPCs in a varmint rifle that didn' t shoot any better than a .243. I' ve owned .308, .30-06, .300 win Mag, and .300 H&H and could never say one was more accurate than the other.
Bear in mind that I' m a hunter...not a benchrest shooter.
