Why do otherwise sensible and nitpicky rifle loonies keep using the term "caliber" when referring to a chambering? It's particularly incongruent behaviour amongst folks who often engage in lengthy and passionate debates about some pretty obscure, esoteric topics?
Odd...
Gotta say it kinda bugs me too.
Maybe it's just a more "folksy" way to say
cartridge... sort of like calling antlers, "horns."
