This is not true. I would ask you to re-evaluate your position.
I can take you out anytime you like, anywhere you like, with a .375CT, and show you a 1" group at 100yds, that will stay a 1" group out to about 400-500yds. As I said, a group size which is smaller in linear distance is unlikely, but a group size which is smaller in angular units is very, very likely.
The longer the projectile, the more pronounced the effect. Hence why it isn't normally identified, and thus is completely dismissed by those whom have not spent a great deal of time with the larger cartridges. Yet when you are launching a projo which is 2" in length... things change.
I have no doubt that the same principles apply to shorter projectiles, yet it is harder to identify.
