More people misuse the decimal point than any other mistake.
There's 3 too many decimal points in the previous post.
Caliber .30 should be Caliber 30
.220 Howell should be 220 Howell
Caliber .22 barrel should be 22 caliber bbl
.22 bullet should be .224" bullet
Use the decimal point in measurement not in nomenclature.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. ... Wrong.
You cite modern SAAMI convention, which even SAAMI didn't always follow. The decimal is correct as I've used it, according to my exhaustive study of classical international usage, going back over a hundred years. Believe me, I
know whereof I speak.
SAAMI set its own weird standard, which governs only SAAMI's style.
