MOST ACCURATE CALIBER

[NotAnthony]

What’s everyone’s opinion for most accurate caliber?

 

[Jont22]

Relative to what criteria?

Not to hijack OPs thread, but what's everyone's opinion for fastest boolit?

Nearly impossible question to answer to without some criteria.

Rifle, pistol, range of target, wind considerations, energy requirements, etc. and within any caliber there is a wide range of projectiles that display different characteristics in different platforms for the same caliber.

But...I'll play along. In a rifle, 6mm offerings hold BCs that make them pretty inherently accurate but a 204 ruger is pretty straight shooting but 338 lapua is too plus a whole bunch of other calibers like 257 WBY mag. Pistols? No idea - maybe 357 mag, 38 super, 41 mag, 460SW?. Rimfire? 17HMR?

No clear cut answer. Define your application and platform and then the question will have a less broad but still not a specific answer.

220 swift (?) unless you get into wildcat stuff.

Definitely TULA 762x39 steel cased ammo

The $20 would be quick and painless for everyone involved.

But my vote is for the .300 WinMag, because a .50 is just too over the top.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt (for now anyway) since it is at least an attempt at a quality post.

Plus what is better than a thread that could potentially devolve into "What is better? 9mm/40sw/45acp".

I used to think posts were only from starting threads too. Seems like that's a common misunderstanding.

Easy! 10mm.

I’ll be that guy,

the most accurate caliber is the one that you can shoot the best. For me it’s 6.5CM, for my wife it’s 22lr. For my father, it’s the Lord’s caliber, .45 ACP

the gun also changes the dynamic. Also depend on a couple personal criteria's also. Like your hand size, your stance, ETC. The gun that fits you the best might not work for me. so all this kind of throws the most accurate caliber out the window. too many variables.

12 guage 7.5 shot, I can hit way more sporting clays with this than I can any of the previously mentioned rounds

Most accurate caliber is the standard copper plated BB. Must be shot from a Red Rider. Gar-run-teed to shoot minute of eye .

I'll argue that, my friend. A lot of little kids, with small hands, can run circles around adults. Women with tiny hands the same, while shooting standard size guns of any manufacturer. Shooting better, often using less than the perfect stance.

Shooting and marksmanship is more about the indian than the arrow.

Bags, benches and other rests to take the shooter more out of the loop is where we start getting into caliber accuracy arguments.

Yes.
