All about the common usage of a word or phrase. "Calibre" being a perfect example in the world of guns. Just about every time the word Calibre is used what is really meant is Cartridge.

Look here https://weatherby.com/store/markv-accumark/ Scroll down and there is a drop down list headed Calibre.

Actually even "bore size" in common use is bullet diameter. In common usage when "big" is added to "bore" it means power and/or case capacity. If Winchester was to chamber for the 375/06 you can bet it would not be in the same rifles as they chamber for the 375, 416 and 458


And that is the problem. Bore size and life is simpler. The 375 H&H was a suseecfull medium bore used against dangerous game successfully but is is still a medium
