hmmm... the only ones i could find was 7.62 Nagant(.295") and 7.35 carcano(.298"). to everybody in the gunindustry: please don't bring out a .29", there is absolutely no need for it and we already have too many calibers. | |||

I second the vote for no need of a .29. The absence of such a creature just adds to the legitimacy of the 30 calibers. Free men should not be subjected to permits, paperwork and taxation in order to carry any firearm. NRA Benefactor | |||

I once read an article about calibers and such by one of the magazine guys like, Clair Rees, Layne Simpson or some other one??? and they said the "perfect caliber" lies somewhere between the 7mm and 30 calibers, leaving the 29 caliber. The perfect bullet weight was something like 172 grains or 176 grains. The perfect rifle scope was 5x. I think these were somehow computer generated or calculated or some other bull$h!t. I cannot remember any reference to a case capacity. Sooooo, sounds like you might be on to something. You know Parker Ackley came up with the 23 caliber after some of the game commissions set an arbitrary minimum at 23 knowing there weren't any. Stranger things have happened. I am still trying to figure out how to block my computer from accepting those posts about a .395 caliber that appear unceasingly on the big bore forums. Damn. | |||

Sounds like the B-29, designed by John Barsness _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

If it was up to me we'd eliminate every other caliber instead of adding more. Lets have the 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, then every third one....338, .358, .375 and then every millimeter....41, .45, Shooting would cost less if we did that. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

see that was my logic just in reverse ... we have every other caliber , why is the .two-niner missing from the American line up?  | |||
