[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1575079, member: 2736"] Cartridges are best identified buy their cartridge name for clarity. Just as gunsmiths "have" to stamp the cartridge name and any changes to the cartridge on the barrel (Like AI or Neck diameter) to prevent someone from using the wrong cartridge. The name of a cartridge does not always designate the bore diameter as stated many times and can be misleading. It is the responsibility of the owner to use ONLY the Ammo that is identified on the firearm. There will always be some confusion because of the IDs don't reflect the actual bore diameter in many cartridges, but they should prevent the wrong cartridge from being fired in it if the owner knows what to use in the firearm. It realy doesn't mater what he calls it as long as HE knows what ammo to use in it. Sometimes I have heard cartridges called by their nick name because the owner thinks It's cool, like quarter bore or CM For an example. I tell people to only use ammo that has the EXACT same name that is on the barrel or frame of the firearm. I have even seen retailers sell people the wrong ammo for their weapon. and as Ron White (The comedian) says "You cant fix stupid". Call them what you want to, but use the right one in the firearm.
