[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1227063, member: 12995"] Not a problem, I hope my post didn't come off as me sounding brash. I just re-read it, and realized it could have been perceived as such. My apologies if it did. It's hard to convey tone of voice through text. Yep, we are still one of 3 countries I think that do not use the metric system. I know us, and Liberia are 2 of them. But can't remember off the top who the 3rd is. And I could understand why the 7mm and 8mm metric calibers could leave a bit of a scar on the men who made it back home. They didn't want to shoot no commie calibers. :D I agree, however, I am a huge 7mm fan. It is the perfect bullet. Some will argue the 6.5mm is, but they both share the same excellent mix of weight and diameter. Prime example is to compare weight-for-caliber ballistic coefficients of other caliber bullets compared to the 6.5mm and 7mm bullets. My grandfather served under Gen. Patton in his tank division in Great Britain in WWII. He's never talked much about it, but I have always been fascinated and a bit of history buff, so I like to read about the great wars, because as the old saying goes, "Those who quickly forget history, are often doomed to repeat it..."
