I know benchrest shooters certainly stick to particular cartridges for their inherent accuracy.
I am curious as to the 'inherent accuracy' properties of the cartridges available for the AR-15 platform:
.204 Ruger
.223 Rem
5.56 mm
6.5 Grendel
6.8 SPC
6mm x45
.30 AR Remington
.300 Whisper
.300 Blackout
and others
I know that the case capacity, geometry, bullet form + weight lend to repeatable burn rates, etc. etc, but I'm asking, are there any standouts?
Or should I just work with match grade .223 ammo and barrels? I'm in the market for a barrel, so it's time to consider caliber before I go further. Range for me and my tired old eyes is 100 and 200 yds. Once in a while 500 yds when I get the chance.
