Apparently SAAMI read MachIVshooter's excellent sticky and decide to join the game.

Well, that's good to see!

They're pretty conservative on thread-for-caliber and minimum shoulder diameter, but at least it provides a guideline for people who don't have the knowledge or experience to determine what's appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

Maybe we'll stop seeing all these idiots put 5/8" long AR style tenons on rimfires, some manufacturers included.

Wonder why they are using bore diameter and not groove diameter for the delineator? The major diameter of the bullet is more important for clearance through a suppressor or brake than the the minor diameter of the bullet. Probably not real critical given typical clearance of those devices but interesting.
