On Sub-calibers
Hello, all!
As Moderator for this Forum, going to post this one as sort of a FYI on the Sub-calibre thing. To me, subcalibres are: 1) Any & all cartridges smaller than .22 calibre 2) Calibres originally thought of as for sub-caliber practice, like the 4mm Erma RF & CF, and the .297/230 Morris (which is a bottlenecked .22 centerfire round) 3) Small .22 centerfires such as the .22 Hornet and its ancestor, the .22 WCF. Which also would include I suppose the .22 CCM (a centerfire version of the .22 WMR!) and its parent cartridge the .22 Maynard Extra Long. I'm also going to include a FOURTH, unless someone objects. That would be "miniature" handgun cartridges, from the 2.7mm Kolibri up to and including the 6.35mm Browning, or .25 Auto! .218 Bee--Umm, I think I'll let Rocky & Terry Blauwkamp keep that one over in Reloading Bench, since that's more of a regular (though getting scarce) small game/Varminter round. Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this Statement of Delinieation? The floor's open.
