I think some are just easier for the average reloader to get accuracy out of.

Personally, I'd ask the question a little differently, and pose it to Mule Deer (and others) who've done objective testing of different cartridges as well as other things that affect accuracy:

What characteristics of cartridges (neck length, ratio of volume to bore size, etc.) seem to make a difference in accuracy?
