High caliber is a term related to quality, not dimension. Dunno why Fox would use such vernacular in a report of that nature unless they are IDIOTS in regards to firearms terminology.

I would be willing to educate them so as to prevent them from sounding like Uncle Joe.

Creepy Uncle Joe has apparently become recently fixated on educating women about shotguns. Must be some sort of segue from his normal creepy.

I would imagine they meant high power rifle. Down here that is basically a centerfire with probably .30-30 muzzle velocity or higher.

Excellent! I was struggling to come up with the right thing; but couldn't get it right. I tip my cap to you.

High caliber (or calibur, if you like) is a term applied to firearms by people who know little and care even less (like TV reporters or politicians)!

When the media uses the term high caliber they're usually referring to a 223. crazy
