accuracy
I am of the opinion that the cartridge is irrelevant to the question. Any cartridge with an optimum load will be as inherently accurate as any other. The differences are in the platfrom it is launched from. (And a lot of cartridges do not get the benifit of an optimum load.)
That said, at longer ranges bullets with a poor ballistic coefficient such as wadcutters will be affected more by cross winds. Also bullets traveling in the transonic velocity region are affected more by cross winds. (The reason why a standard velocity 22 LR tends to be more accurate than a high velocity 22 LR out of a rifle.)
Some cartridges have an undeserved reputation for indifferent accuracy. One that springs to mind is the 45 Colt. The cartridge itself is accurate enough, but it is cursed with revolvers having over sized chambers and undersisized throats. A hang over from black powder days. It would benifit greatly by modernizing the chamber dimensions.
That's part of the 454 Casull's secret. Aside from being a lengthened 45 Colt the SAAMI spec calls for very tight chambers.
BTW: Towards the end of the 19th centruy the 44 Russian was probably the best known target revolver cartridge but the 32-44 and 38-44 (Not to be confused with the 38-44 loading of the 38 Special which came many years later, it has no connection at all with the 38 Special.) were probably more accurate as they did away with cylinder throat problems. These two cartridges were reasonably well known and it's a mystery to me why they do not appear in "Cartridges of the World". Right around the turn of the century and shortly after, the Webley Green revolvers were the ones to beat. They had a cylinder lockup that's never been matched since, not even by the S&W triple lock.
