From what I've read, people made the switches looking for easier shooting in the wind.

If the .222 were more accurate Short Range BR guys would still be using it. It is always follow the leader. Nobody follows the looser. Same as in every other sport, otherwise people would be still racing formula 1 cars with carburators and bias ply tires. One day maybe the 6PPC will be usurped like the 222 when someone stumbles on another case design that for whatever reason proves to win more in that discipline. There have been thousands of case designes used in short range BR, so far the 6ppc is king.
