Now we’re moving up to a real caliber. Or now we’ll shoot a real caliber now. Statements made by Youtube gun channels right after they shoot something with a 22 rimfire and are now going to use a 9mm or some other “real” caliber…

I know, they’re Youtubers and many of them don’t know sic ‘em about guns and I should consider it’s for entertainment purposes for other people that don’t know squat about guns. And, I have to admit that some of them I find entertaining and I consider myself to know sic ‘em and squat about guns so I’m just complaining because it’s too cold outside to do anything.

Just wondering now… Who’s dumber, somebody that doesn’t know squat or doesn’t know didlly squat? I’m think didly squat but sometimes I don’t know jackshit about what I’m talking about…

Rifle or handgun


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Just build a .460 Rowland and throw .451s at 1,720 and be done with all the damn experimenting... would be my friendly advice.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Good point! Must be why I love shooting my real caliber 17 M2 so much!

For TwoYubers and others of a below freezing age who gain all their gun knowledge from video games, a "real caliber" is something they imagine sends people flying backwards when hit.

Those of us who they demean as "boomers" know that a caliber is a bore diameter, not a chambering. And that no handgun chambering has movie-style knockdown power. And also that few if any of those kids have the discipline to learn marksmanship rather than merely pulling the trigger as fast as possible.

450BM: I own numerous Rifles in caliber 270 Winchester and am constantly impressed with how well that cartridge performs afield.
I consider the 270 Winchester a "wonderful" (real?) cartridge.

The Brits seem to refer to chamberings as calibers.
Heard it repeatedly on Fieldsports Britain episodes.

The.30-06, 300WM, .308W, .30-30, .30-40 Krag, and a bunch more are all the same caliber?

I was going to say the M242 25mm Bushmaster chain gun but 1" works too. No need to split hairs and all.

.22 rimfire is lame-o...me, when I want a real caliber (love that term, which denotes almost nothing) I move up to the .25-20 (reduced load for cast of course).


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
