The younger generation just does not want to use the same"Words" that their fathers and grandfathers used. Those terms are considered old fashion.
A lot of shooters actually believe that cartridge and caliber are the same thing. So when they see the different cartridge designations, they just think it is the same cartridge with a different name. Tom.
Tom,
I disagree with you on this one. My theory is that we have a generation of kids coming up through the ranks that are self entitled. They've been given everything. Why should they have to work after all. We all know it's hard work that gives you the knowledge and skill. Today's kids expect the box of ammo and go shoot it off, turn around throw the brass away and expect to get more when they ask for it.
