i think that most any cartridge is accurate to some degree, its just that some have better designs to them that make them inherently more accurate. .222, .308,.284.,6.5x284,300win.338lapua,50bmg all have designs that burn the powder they were made for. there are exceptions of course, i believe that starting with good action, good trigger, good barrel and stock you have the beginning of a recipe for success. if you want to shoot at longer ranges, shoot a cartridge that is cheap to buy or you reload a lot of, and of course something that isnt going to beat you to death. practice is the key, learning how to dope the wind is something that even the pros still sometimes have problems with. elevation is easy, just figure out your ballistics charts and shoot at 200,300,400,500, all the way out to the extent of how far you want to shoot, but the wind drift is something you can never really get a good handle on unless you shoot a lot. the higher b.c bullets will help with this, but i still believe practice is paramount.....
