1 That's because they are being expressed in INCH size, YOU MORON!
So why don't you go through the metric to inch scale conversion, then find yourself a diagram showing true cartridge dimensions of .308, and 30-'06 to cure your ignorance? They both utilize 7.62 mm projectiles, which is .308 of an inch.
What's that you say? You want me to do it FOR you?
Ok, I could do that. But if I do, will you acknowledge you are speaking out of turn? Or not? I suspect you'll keep arguing things you really know nothing about...
The 8x57 is there alright, you just know know enough about armament to see it, since it is not expressed directly as such, as it's listed as "7.92 x 57", having a bullet diameter of 7.92 mm, which equals .323 of an inch.
Now, I said that [what is most commonly called] 8mm Mauser, or alternatively 8 x 57 Mauser uses in actuality a 7.92 mm projectile or bullet, didn't I? Yet somehow you are such the argumentative sort, you persist in telling me I'm wrong?
Just admit it. You don't have any hands-on experience with the things you are talking about. I, on the other hand, do.
Uh, 7.62mm = 0.300" NOT .308"
The I is .318, the IS is .323
Just admit it. You don't have any hands-on experience with the things you are talking about. I, on the other hand, do.
Your mixing up bullet sizes could be dangerous.
No. 7.92mm = 0.312". I am REALLY glad you are not loading my ammo!
No. The 7.92x57IS has a bullet diameter of 8.20mm, NOT 7.92mm.
