[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 840165, member: 22069"] FYI, cartridge designations stopped including case capacity at the end of the blackpowder era. During the blackpowder era, cartirdges such as 44-40, 45-70, 45-110, etc. all referred to the bullet diameter followed by the case capacity in grains of blackpowder. This designation system was primarily an American system. The British and Continental Europeans each had their own systems of nomenclature. In the smokeless powder era, the metric designations all refer to bullet diameter followed by case length in millimeters. [/QUOTE]
