[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2497658, member: 116439"] In guns, particularly firearms, caliber (or calibre; sometimes abbreviated as " cal ") is the[B] specified nominal internal diameter of the gun barrel bore[/B] - regardless of how or where the bore is measured and whether the finished bore matches that specification. It is measured in inches or in millimeters. A cartridge or a round is a[B] type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition[/B] packaging a projectile (bullet, shot, or slug), a propellant substance (usually either smokeless powder or black powder) and an ignition device (primer) within a metallic, paper, or plastic case that is precisely made to fit within the barrel chamber of a breechloading gun, for the practical purpose of convenient transportation and handling during shooting. Caliber = Rifling size in barrel - size the barrel was drilled Bore = the groves cut in the caliber for the rifling Example .3380 caliber has a .3300 Bore Cartridge = 338 Lapua Mag or 338 Win Mag or 338RUM - (Case, Primer, Powder, Bullet) [/QUOTE]
