RE: Caliber Of The Week.
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!
