Not really a thing.

That is a thick rim.

>25-45 sharps. (Mixed units)
>.308x1.75” (the wrong units for caliberxcaselength)

I’m trying to think of more, but come to think of it, I quite like cartridge names. The imperial naming convention is stupid, granted, but some just roll off the tongue nicely. 350 legend, 360 buckhammer, 6mm SAW, etc. you don’t have to hate everything. It’s nice to like things.

Oh, .224 boz sounds a bit unserious to me because “boz” means “whore” in my mother tongue. I always chuckle when it comes up.

you do realize that ackley improved isn't the name of a single cartridge, it's the name of a genre of cartridges?
take any bottlenecked rifle cartridge and blow the shoulder angle forwards and that's ackley improved

>>64688380
7mm08 is up there

>>64688643
Yeah, it’s weird to say.
Seven millimeter oh eight, right?
>>
>>64688695

>*looks closer at dimensions*

Holy fuck. That’s considered suitable for bears? To be fired from a shouldered rifle? This makes 2 bore look likes child’s play.

8.6 blackout should be 330 blackout
22 creedmoor should be 5.5 creedmoor
>>64688643
I think it takes the cake. 7x51mm would have been just fine. 08 means literally nothing
>>
>>64688695
Everyone just calls it 708.
