Re: accuracy difference between calibres?
Not wanting to be a jerk, but let me try and simplify my question; which caliber, diameter of a bullet would be intrinsically more accurate? A round nose, designed weight bullet compared to another diameter, round nose designed weight bullet fired from the same universal receiver (and similar design...

Re: accuracy difference between calibres?
I had a similar (same) question a while back (20 years + and never got an answer just "my 64 cal bolt gun was way more accurate than my 33 cal. pump."), and perhaps my question fits here. Is there any caliber that is inherently, generally in all guns, with any load, more accurate? I fully ...

Re: How 'bout this for a "if only one gun" scenario...?
I've seen this question a few times and the only way I cam answer is "change the question to if you could only have one gun in each caliber...". My ideas change often. Not being snarky, but one day my Garand is my choice, one day my Masada, one day Ruger SBH, One day my SSA 45 Colt, one da...
