+1 Get taken to the field less because of it. Just the same, no way to balance a varmint barrel unless you're dealing with a >7kg rifle.No, but they carry funny. Have a couple.
For the same reason you Aussies pronounce con-trov-er-sy, while Americans pronounce it con-tro-ver-sy. There is no "correct" way, both are right, and each looks or sounds funny in the other's camp.Not to hijack the thread, but I am interested to know why Americans do not use the correct abbreviations for common weights used?
Pounds= Lbs.
Ounces= Oz.
Kilograms= Kgs.
Grams= Grm.
Is this not used there or taught?
Cheers.
