[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 840049, member: 12995"] Found this quote online and though it was the best and simplist explaination for you... "Sometimes, instead of one simple number, the ammunition size and type will be represented by two groups of numbers. In such cases, the first number usually indicates the bullet diameter, while the second number often ([B][U]but not always[/U][/B]) represents the length of the cartridge, measured from base to case rim." And there you go... Will do Max...It's just a little side-project I figured that since I was building a switch-barrel on a standard action, I might as well find a used .22-250 barrle and ream the chamber out and see where this might could go... I am not designing this wildcat to be a lightspeed land record setter....It's just so you can efficiently push the big heavy .22 caliber bullets at speeds as fast a .22-250 with the lighter bullets, like the 50-55gr bullets.
