				What Caliber For Accuracy At 500 yards?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			After my last thread I desided to research a few more calibers, and now I am just really confused. 
 
What I want is accuracy at 500 yeards, like competition accurate. 
But also go and shoot up varmit too, seems we always have a wind of 10-15 km/h kinda breeze all the time. 
 
While I know its more then the caliber that makes this, it does have a bearing on it. 
I like Savages and the accutrigger and figure its my best buy, and every year I can get it smithed to be a bit better even. 
 
22-250, I figure this can do it. 
 
308, I know can do, as I used to have one. 
 
25-06, can do it, but harder to find info on. 
 
223, can do it, but its kinda like the 22-250 still a bit small I think. 
 
 
and it seems everything else is pretty big. 
One of my past worries was protection in bear country, but I cleaned up my pops 300 win mag and it looks great, put 6 shots into a 1' ground at 150 yeards, and the feed works great, its an old remington. I figure with a good factory load this round would be more then enough to stop a bear. 
 
 
I am sure I have missed some that might be the best even, but I am still learning lots. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.
