[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1116944"] Looking at the 416/300 WSM thread I realized I really don't understand the terminology of we use to reference "bore" ranges. What is "small bore" What is "medium bore" What is "large bore" or "big bore" Is there something after that? Is caliber synonymous with bore when used this way? When using terminology like "a medium bore, such as a 30-30" is it clearer to include the caliber? Is something like "a small bore rimfire such as a 17HSM or 17H2 would do the trick" the proper use? How about "a big bore Africa cartridge like a 375 H&H is the normal round used". Is 30 cal considered medium bore? Is a 300RUM or 30/378Wby a medium bore boominloudentsinghin? [/QUOTE]
