    Caliber size metric vs. standard question

    Can someone explain why a 6.5 mm caliber is a bullet diameter of 0.264" in the standard unit system? Since the metric to standard conversion is 25.4 mm = 1 inch, I keep getting that a 6.5 mm bullet should be 0.256". Am I missing something on bullet dimension measurements? I'll confess to not...

    Hi everyone! I've been hooked on the idea of a public land DIY western hunt for years, mainly inspired by some of Randy's OYOA videos. I've lived my entire life in north central TX and OK, and sitting in a tree stand or blind just isn't for me. I did not grow up hunting, nor did anyone else in...
