I know, it's hard to think about. It's easier to look up a ballistic chart to remind yourself. Also, is calibers the right word? Last last, I said cartridges and all these fags corrected me.

My list is easy

To be fair, I think it should be "How many different calibers of cartridges have you shot".

Just "cartridges" doesn't specify the difference in calibers, and just "calibers" perpetuates the common misconception that a caliber is a cartridge in and of itself.

How safe are you? My uncle shoots .22LR out of his .22 magnums... not as accurate, but he don't care about accuracy for plinking. Some people would freak out from this.

I think single shot .22LR's can shoot .22long and .22short no problem.
.357 chamber can shoot .38 special just fine.

.45 Colt can safely be interchanged with .410 shotgun.... as long as the barrel is okay with shotgun loads. And if the shotgun barrel is okay for slugs.

>>28033032
Certainly you can in some cases shoot different cartridges out of the same chamber, and I was this close to mentioning that. But usually those cartridges use bullets that have the same caliber. Which is the whole point of using cartridge over caliber in the first place. A caliber just describes the diameter of the bullet (or the diameter of the barrel in general, its a bit fuzzy usually), and any number of cartridges can share a caliber of bullet. A cartridge will describe a single caliber, where as a caliber can describe a number of cartridges.
>>
>>28033097
I don't see anything stupid about it.

Cartridge =/= Caliber.

Musket balls have a caliber. They are certainly not cartridges.

tfw I mostly just shoot .357

All I want to do is just shoot hot .357 all day
>>
So then use caliber where it makes sense and cartridges where it makes sense. But in a general sense saying a cartridge will convey more information with little more effort then just saying a caliber. Obviously for shotguns you should say what kind of shot you are using, and for things like cap and ball you don't have a cartridge.

I would have defiantly put cartridge in the title, and make a note in the body to use caliber for musket/cap and ball, and use cartridge and the type of the shot for shotguns. You will still get complaints from people who just read the title because this is 4chan.
>>
>>28033406
Sorry, the type of shot for shotgun? My list for 12ga alone would go #9, #8, #7 1/2, #6, #4, 00 000 probably 5 different custom combo loads of different shot, and probably a dozen different slugs. And everything from 3 1/2" to 2 3/4"

They should make a remake of "I've been everywhere" and have it list a bunch of calibres or guns and call it "I've shot everything"
>>
>>28033032
I believe that last part is incorrect. From my understanding you can't use .45 long in 410 barrels if you can shoot slugs it needs to be rated for 45 long because 45 long is still much higher pressure than slugs. Please correct me if I am wrong.

There are some cartridges designed for use in the AR-15 that use the same common parent cartridge and bolt face but have the neck wider than .223/5.56 to fit larger diameter bullets.

.300 Blackout, 6.5mm, 6.8mm and i think maybe .458 or someshit. I might be wrong, so if someone knows correct me.

No, i would have remember if it was that. It was something similar but with a taller cartridge and with a bit more power. Maybe 458. lott, i can't remember.

But it was a bitch. After one shot i was like ''great, now i can say that i shot that one so lets not do that again''
