Dale's on a role! Lookout.
Isn't it simply a 30 Magnum?

Brad,
Yep, the 7mm Remington Magnum is the ONLY 7mm caliber to many Montanans!
Ingwe used to work at Capital Sports in Helena, where I met him 30 years ago. Every year somebody would come in just before hunting season and asked for a box of Seven Em Ems. He'd ask which one, and they were always puzzle because EVERYBODY knows there's only one Seven Em Em. (Unless, of course, they called it the Big Seven, which is what many Montanans called the 7mm Remington Magnum when it first appeared in 1962, because back then everybody knew that you had to be a real man to handle a MAGNUM.)
Apparently things really have changed since then. Today you apparently have to be a real man to know (and properly use in conversation) the difference between cartridge and caliber. Being in Alabama the first 49 years of life, it was always the ‘Sem Mag.

Lots of people shoot guns, own guns, and don't know [bleep] about guns. You encounter them every day on this very site

Had an uncle who really liked his M99 in .300 Savage as he tbought it a better caliber than .250-3000. He was really happy he had the rotary magazine instead of a clip. He could reliably shoot running deer to 150 yards or so, and a standing deer at 300 yards was venison.
When I was twelve I tried to explain to him the mistakes in his terminology. He just smiled and kept piling up deer with lung shots. I wish I could shoot as well as he did.

At a public range. Young guy with a couple of older folks there shooting something long action 'high caliber' 30-06ish
He asked what I had.
"It's a Savage 99, in 300 Savage," I said, "would you like to shoot it?"
"Oooohhhh no - that's a big one!" shaking his head.
He about fainted at the thought of touching off such a monster 300 caliber WMD....

Good story....the old .300 Savage is not well known with the younger set. My Dad said in the 1940s, most thought you could shoot anything that walked with a 99 in .300. As he and my uncle both used one, I believed it. I used Dad's for about 15 years......it might be true.

For real? This is supposed to be the rifle looney site! No! A caliber is neither cartridge nor chambering.

One of the best examples of language fluidity is the word "mouse." What did you think of first?

Had a dumbass tell me how he just prefers Remington ammo since his rifle is Remington and it just seems like the safe way to go.

I have three sons, try explaining what is a Winchester Model 70 that shoots a 270 Winchester, a 250 Savage or a 7mm Remington Mag. I would tell them to think of a Winchester Model 70 as you would a F150 truck. The Model 70 is the truck, the engine options would be many like the 308 Win, 270 win, 7mm RM, etc...They eventually sorted it out but don't get me started on the 275 Rigby / 7x57!

How about an "elg" being a moose but we mispronounce the word elg as elk and instead of calling a moose an elk, we call a wapiti an elk instead of a moose.

And then there's the incorrect pronunciation of coues deer as "coo-s deer" instead of "cows deer".

There's actually a subtle difference in pronunciation between his name and cows, but cows is very close. Shame he didn't manage to collect a specimen of the deer that was named after him.
