There is one rifle that has maintained it's common name ever since it was introduced how ever it has had two bullet diameters. You old guys hold off a bit and give the younger crowed a chance.

I would say 8 x 57 Mauser but they use a letter to designate the two bullet diameters, so I guess that doesn't count as the same name, huh?

.45 Colt was originally chambered in .454, is now commonly .452, but I've measured chamber throats from 0.449 up to .0456. Dunno if that's what you had in mind.

My guess is 7.62X39 - Used both .308 and .311 daimeter bullets I think.

That was my first guess too until I started thinking that the .318 bullets were a Mauser 88 feature not a Mauser 98 thing. Bullets for 98's were .323. Both called 8mm Mauser, but two differant animals.

Okay, I may be completely reading this wrong, but he states "one rifle", not "caliber" or "cartridge". So, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Marlin 336. It's used "two bullet diameters", the .30 and the .35.

303 Savage, on the older rounds the 303 Savage factory loads had a .311 bullet in them, as the years progressed the company realized the pressure spikes were a bit on the high side, so after about 1930 they switched the bullet size to a .308 bullet. You can see the difference in size between older remmy and winchester rounds. Les

Just got home from eastern Oregon, the answer I was looking for is 22 hornet....223 &224 seems that a couple others would work also 7.62 x39 in both 308 and 311 and perhaps the 303 savage need to check on that one.

toltecgriz; i do believe you should go open up one of your favorite beverages and hold it on high and say "I won" thats about all the prize you are going to get.
Les old boy, the only good Savage that deserves mention is the 250-3000 of which I personally at one time had seven. I was attempting to collect every variant of the model 99 in 250-3000 but have moved on. The 303 has no appeal to me simply because I never given it much thought and shall continue not to do. My information shows that the Savage 303 was loaded with both .308 and .311 bullets but there seems not be be a concenous on who is correct. unlike the 22 hornet which has a time line in which ammo and guns were either 223 or 224. This is probably so simply due to the continued popularity of the Hornet and the obsolesece of the Savage 303. Ok now I'm interested send me what ya got. You still do not win the prize but go open your self up a cold one any way you deserve it.
