This would be diametrically smaller than a garden-variety 7.62mm bullet. So it would be very odd to call it a .303 as it is unless you use a different system. That and I have a 7.7x57 of my own, to create confusion...

.308 is a larger number than .303 btw

So any approximately correct diameter is valid. This is different to 12 gauge which is a clearly defined convention. -------------------- <dtn> hopefully plae won't follow me into my dreams

Its not a problem with the design, it a personal problem you have with the designation...get over it. but to keep you happy, M@, I hence forth revoke your membership in the C.I.P. you may no longer use or claim to adhere to the standards and practices of the C.I.P. , in short do whatever you like but dont expect any further support from the C.I.P. ... additionally I will be notifying SAAMI - youre fucked now son.

I don't know why they call it .308, but the .303 round is actually bigger than the 7.62 NATO (".308" to the "I bought my gun at Wal Mart crowd"). I personally take great pleasure in asking for 7.62 NATO at gun stores.

.303 is 7.7mm, so it's actually bigger. Everybody knows the .303 Mk.7 round is mor destructive than 7.62 NATO. I think. Lol.
