[edit] Confusion

This page is a confusing way of organizing this information. First, a good number of these cartridges are *not* 7mm, but 7.62mm, or 8mm. Furthermore, when listing the calibers in inches, there are several .277", .308" and .311" calibers listed under .284" designation.

Suggest looking into "Cartridges of the World" by Frank C. Barnes or http://www.chuckhawks.com for examples of how to organize calibers in a better manner.
