[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1197241, member: 2736"] We are all guilty of over-thinking some of these questions, but some things need some though and understanding. some of us take lots of things for granted because we have been dealing with them for over half a century but some of the new members have not dealt with them and need/want an explanation. so I for one don't mind answering a question if I can no matter how simple it seems to me. Even some of us old timers can learn if we listen to others. taking care to understand what cartridge takes what size bullet is very important in my mind. a good example of this is the difference in barrel grove diameters in the same cartridge. Old 22 hornet = .222 and .223 the new 22 hornet has a .224 grove diameter. another example is the Palma barrels are sometimes .3065 or .307 or can be the standard .308 depending on what someone wanted, so it would be nice to know what you have. (All 3 sizes can be/are called a Palma barrel and most "Think" that it is a .308. so questions are good and knowing is better. It is easier to get the wrong ammo/bullet than you think and it happens all the time. I personally don't want someone to "Not" ask a question because it may sound stupid to others. the only stupid question, is the one not asked. No one has all the answers, but on this site someone will know the answer or know where to find it. So keep'em coming. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
