So just what is it that makes those light weight benchrest guns so accurate..is it strictly caliber (6PPC) that gives them the advantage over long distance rigs when it comes to point blank (100, 200, 300 yard accuracy?)
I read about 10.5lb benchrest rifles firing 0.1XX, or 0.0XX groups in order to be competitive, yet 600 or 1000 yard guns possibly weighing 17lbs often fire closer to 1/2 MOA at close range....is that because of the twist rate, bullets, and caliber?
Would one of these long distance rigs with a slightly slower twist and some flat base bullets rival the benchrest guns at close range or is there some magic in the build of these benchrest guns?
