Way back when I gave up explaining my metric cartridges because it always guaranteed a follow on question:

"What'd you use on the mulie? My 6.5 Swede. What's that? It's a .26 caliber."

These days in the interest of reducing cartridge question pollution I do the following:

"What'd you shoot that elk with? My .26 Creedmoor. Really? Yup."

"What's that rifle? That's my .366 Bock. Hmmm, never heard of that one. I know".

It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
