“Right down to where .308 falls. (medium).”
Interesting. The ‘small’ goes up to .25. The ‘medium’ goes down to .32!
One of the Waco bullets was classified as medium/large. I wonder if .30 would be small/medium?
Just a point to ponder but of no significance since their were no .308’s fired at Twin Peaks.
A .300 Blackout round would also have a .308 projectile, as would a 7.62 X 25. I’ll wait for the ballistics report before I eliminate anything, thanks.
I don't think a .308 round would chamber in a .32 ACP.
You do understand that .308 is only a Diameter.
Now .308 Winchester and 7.62 X 51 MM are cartridges.
And yes, a 32ACP can easily fire a .308 inch diameter bullet.
Only an idiot would attempt to chamber a .308 Winchester round into a 32 ACP pistol.
“You do understand that .308 is only a Diameter.”
Oh. So when someone says they have a .45 or .357 we don’t really know what he is shooting ...
What about a 410?
Or a .50!
.50? M2 Browning MG?
357 Herret?
45ACP?
45Long Colt?
Shall I go on?
“You do understand that .308 is only a Diameter.”
No! .308 is just a NUMBER. And most commonly refers to the .308 Winchester.
If you are specifying diameter you should say:
.308” DIAMETER bullet.
The discussion was of the Medical Examiner’s identification of the caliber of the bullets as small, medium and large.
In that context .308 would be caliber(bullet diameter) not which cartridge the bullet was fired from.
How would the ME know that anyway.
