[QUOTE="grit, post: 615973, member: 4112"] Nothin' stupid about it. Calibers are given all kinds of names for all kinds of reasons. 30-06: In this case, 1906 is the year the cartridge dimensions were standardized. Official millitary designation was, "ball cartridge, caliber .30, Model of 1906" 7mm-08: In this case the 08 refers to the parent cartridge, the 308. Many wildcats are named this way. [/QUOTE]
