Probably one of the hardest kicking and loudest rifles ever made too.

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
I started this thread for fun. Also so that some of us really dumb-ass people might could learn a little about different rounds, bullets,calibers,cartridges,or whatever you want to call them.I was not going for the politically correct approach.Some of the ones who visit this site may not have ever heard of the .17 Remington or of the Zipper or the list can go on for ever.Maybe they will find out about something new to them and keep an older "round" alive. Who knows "I" might even find out what a Wasp ,Bee,Hornet,Stinger,Jaybird,Catbird ,or a T-Rex is.............

That's great that you come here to learn, so do i... Why not start outby learningthe most elementary terms when it comes to firearms and cartridges.
In "simple" terms, "caliber" refers to the diameter of the bore/bullet, and the "cartridge" is the brass case thatdrives that bullet down the bbl...
For instance, the .338 by 378 refers to the "cartridge"but the caliber is .338. That also happens to be the diameter of the bullet... (.338")
If you come here to learn, i hope you won't be offended when someone tries to point out the difference to you and maybe teach you something along the way...
There's nothing wrong with not knowing something, but there is with not wanting to learn the correct info about it.
BTW, the 338 by 378 has so much recoil and muzzle blast thati'll pass on owning one! I guess i'm a wimp when it comes to that!
DM ,Maybe I just took you wrong.I'll just go with Round of the week.I know the difference between caliber and cartridge.I might even know a little bit more than I let on.But that is besides the point.This is just for everybody to have something to talk about.Likes, dislikes,etc. As everyone knows firearms generally are not about what you need but what you want or like.I like them all and want all of them.Some of my friends and I had a game going on one time where we were trying to see who could do the most damage and explosion on frozen gallon milk jugs.You would not believe some of the stuff that showed up.When it was all over with a 45-70 with really heavy bullets and black powder did the best job over big magnums and everything else.Who da thunk it.Now we are playing .22 rimfire games.
