Ch1966:
You got that right!
Rewind 10,000 yrs:
Grog: "Flint is the best!!! Everything from rock chucks to wooly mammoths!"
Oogie:"You're such a neanderthal! Everyone knows obsidian rules!"
Grog: "No way! I once hit a sabretooth through both lungs with obsidian, and he got up and ate my family...."
Sometimes I think evolution moves a little too slow........
Ch1966 did someone hit you in the head this morning with an obsidian.
The term caliber refers to the diameter of the bore of a rifle or the diameter of the bullet for a particular cartridge.
The term cartridge refers to a complete round of ammo with all of its components intact.
The term 7mm caliber (i.e. .284) then refers to any 7mm cartridge from a 7x57 to a 7mm STW.
The term .30 caliber (i.e. aka .308/7.62mm) then refers to any .30 WSF to a.30-378 Weatherby Magnum.
The term 8mm caliber (i.e. .323) then refers to any 8mm cartridge from a 8x57 to a 8mm Remington Magnum.
I personally know a man killed that killed a charging rhinoceros that was charging his tracker with 5 shots from a .30-06 with 180gr Partitions.
So, Ch1966 would you be so kind as to tell me what I can not kill with a 7mm, 7.62mm or 8mm cartridge.
So if I’m a Neanderthal for knowing this, what does that make you for not knowing?
