I guess you've never shot a 250 before or have heard that the 250 is considered an accurate round......Taken from the book "The Ultimate in Rifle Accuracy": Using a .250-3000 Paul Dinant shot a 5 shot, 100 yard, group of .1057" on May 21, 1950. Not bad considering that was 70+ years ago......

You don't even have to be able to hit a softball at 100 yards to handily kill any deer with either cartridge. I don't think bickering over "inherent accuracy" has any point in this discussion.
