Don’t forget the most important US measurements of them all: 5.56, 7.62, 9, etc.

.308
Oh wait…

.308 is 7.62, civilian measurement vs military (there’s actually implications related to pressures, sidewall thicknesses, machining tolerances, but yeah same same)
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
Yeah, it’s generally safe to shoot 7.62 from a 308-chambered gun, but not the other way around.
Enk1@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Same for 5.56 and .223.

.308 is caliber in inches thus not metric.
