I see what stubblejumper is getting at. You did say "Accuracy is determined by the shooter. The rifle and load only help."

Really you can't have one without the other.

A fellow who can't hold steady, can't control his breathing and yanks the trigger as he flinches, will not shoot any rifle/load/scope combo well. (he will possibly bring the biggest buck into camp mind you)

A rifle/load/scope combo that will never shoot better than a 5 in. group when in a shooting vice, will not shoot better groups than that in the hands of even the best target shooter. (it might be the perfect gun for the fellow described above)

It is a given...that shooters will be expressing our opinions about "the most accurate cartridge" and the "best deer rifle" and "the best all around cartridge" when the next millenium roles around (God willing)
