    Range Report Accuracy difference if any?

    Re: Accuracy difference if any? From my findings, no it had no effect on accuracy. Depending on the type of material used and the dimensions of the bullets a special bore might help for the solid bullets but thats about it. If you gun shoot them then of course it would make no difference.

    Case capacity of 7mm cartridges
