Steve, the 6/223 would equal 6 / 2+2+3 which would equal 6 / 7, which is about .85 dumbass.
Wayyyy smaller than 7. Do you know anything about rifles?
Back in St Augustine's day (400 A.D.), they didn't use the / (slash) for division. Division wasn't invented until the 1700s. Multiple-cation was developed by Ben Franklin in the 1700s also, to explain taxation to farmers. That's what I learned in school.
New math rules were the reason why you see the 6mm/223 written so many different ways - including 6x45mm. If we applied modern mathemication rules to the metrical designation, the 6x45mm would be a 9. That is 6x45 = 270. 2+7+0 = 9. But we can't, so it isn't.
This is what will happen to us if the U.S. adopts the metric system.
The first great thing is to find yourself and for that you need solitude and contemplation. I can tell you deliverance will not come from the rushing noisy centers of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. Fridtjof Nansen
