[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3079142, member: 109862"] I’ve heard that too…the long standing American aversion to metric cartridges having to do with being on the receiving end of such things as the 7x57, 8x57, 7.7 and 6.5 arisaka…. In ww2 and earlier. I take that assessment with a grain of salt but it checks out. I’ve also read that the drive to modern high velocity smallbore bottleneck cartridges on America’s part was somewhat accelerated after suffering such brutal casualties in proportion to how many guys were on each side of that conflict in that Spanish American war, the Americans armed with those 45-70s I decried earlier 🤣, the Spaniards with 7x57 Mauser bolt guns.
