[QUOTE="titanium, post: 23010, member: 164"] And... I don't care how you spin it... 0.0005 does NOT = one/50millionth. CatShooter (aka Paul coburn You are right, it doesn't. You have a typo in the post that contains this value. You have just shown us that .0005" is 5 ten thousands, or half a thou. In Warrens original post of .00005" does equal 50 millionths. The other day I had a lesson on basic sniper math. Today I continue with some basic machinist math. .1 = one tenth .01 = one hundreth .001 = one thou. .0001= one ten thou. .00001= one one hundred thou. .00001 X 5 = 5 one hundred thou. 5 one hunderd thou X ten = 50/ millionth of an inch. I have a keen interest in the .408 Cheytac. I plan on building one, I plan on shooting it. I don't buy snake oil, and I don't think this is the case.
