[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2498555, member: 92702"] Now, look up the bore dia of a 7mm barrel. You will be shocked. Drum roll please!!!! It is .277 for most manufacturers. Same as a .270 Groove dia and bullet dia. 7MM is actually the bore size and you could make a good argument the caliber is named wrong. You could also make a strong argument that a .270 Is the true 7MM, and the .284 win is named properly. This is like the previous post I had with the .256 Newton. .264 barrels have a .256 bore. We also have a .257 Caliber. No wonder folks new to our sport constantly get confused. There is no real standard when it comes to naming cartridges, or even calibers. This reminds me of folks moving here and trying to learn English. They say it makes no sense. Actually it does, its just that it is different for each person that named a cartridge, and if you asked him he could give you a good, logical reason. for the rest of us, like English you have to learn it and "Just Know". Now my head hurts. [/QUOTE]
