I think that's a training issue, so troop quality covers it.
 
As a case in point, I shoot about the same with my .22 pistol
and .357 magnum revolver--and that despite more practice with
the .22 (ammo costs less).
 
Another case in point: I found (by direct comparison) that I shoot
much better at 100 yd with a .357 magnum revolver than a .30-06
rifle (Remington 700 Classic--no recoil absorbers). I could hit
a 2.5' circular target 75%+ of the time with the .357, but below
60% with the Classic--due to flinching with the Classic. 'Course,
I'd practiced a *lot* more with the .357.
(Needless to say, I kept the .357 and sold the Classic.)
Been a while since I practiced, though; I doubt I could do
as well now.
