Probably my only pet peeve across various shooting fora is the use of Caliber when speaking about cartridges.
Here's a hypothetical scenario: You load everything that you shoot.
You own eleven rifles. Five are chambered in .222Rem, .223Rem., 225 Winchester, 220 Swift, and 22-250. All use .224" bullets.
The other six are chambered for .30 Carbine, 30-30 Win., .308 Win., .30-06 Springfield, 300 Win., and .300 RUM. All use .308" bullets
Someone asks how many calibers you reload. What do you answer? Two or eleven? Explain.
