And only some of the bullets.
Some of them we disguise the metric cause it's anathema to us, 30 aught 6 for instance.
Look at what we've done just to not have to refer to millimeters!
30-06 is a 30 cal bullet which should be 300 thou but is really 308 thousandths of an inch and is commonly designated a 7.62 mm NATO which it isn't because that's measured at the inside of the lands, so its actually 7.82mm.
Simple.
7.62 NATO isn't the same thing as 30-06. 7.62 NATO refers to a specific cartridge, not the bullet projectile itself. It's the same as .308 Winchester. 7.62x51mm.
30-06 is 7.62x63mm
Damn, you're right.
I did not expect that response when I saw a notification. I'm so used to the old place where dropping insightfull info is met with arguments.

I'll try to be more combative in the future.
Let me get my AR10, brb.
That's the spirit.
Now I'm thinking about that copy-pasta about the military guy.
Which one?

Harambee looking like Harambo in that link.
Not too get to off topic, but the wildest shit to me is that with a 308 I can buy 7.62 ammunition that was made by Greece during WW2 and recently discovered in a sealed bunker and just straight up shoot with it like no time has passed.
I think it started for the same reason we have metric tools; foreign imports.
