When we discuss accuracy, perhaps we should talk about whether the discussion is paper punching or hunting, what level of accuracy is needed, and at what range.

As an example, for most people who hunt, perhaps a group of 0.20” verses a group of 1.0” at 200 yds is immaterial. In the field, we cannot hold a rifle that well to shoot very a 0.20” group at 200 yds.

While I enjoy people’s discussion of accuracy of various rifle/cartridge combinations, some of the discussion seems to be more be more theorical than practical, at least for a hunter. For a bench rest and long range shooter, these discussions are very important.

One point that both 260 rem and John made is that “all modern rifles are accurate, not because of any particular round but because of modern machinery.”
