They are not necessarily linked.

Anyone can run whatever they want, I just notice a pattern that more rounds are sent downrange in practice with rifles with less recoil than those that punish on both ends.

Small groups are good, but need to be on the mark.

One makes the other easier, but they don't always go together without regular practice.

And don't worry, I've run a few larger than 243. wink

I happened to have a 100 yards and a dime handy to fill in the blank - with a 308 to keep everyone happy.
