Some thoughts on this page:

1. Why do a number of the metric calibers have spaces between the number and "mm"? Is anyone against re-organizing this list and all the articles with "# mm" so that there are no spaces?

2. Is anybody against making this into more of a table (as in 6_mm_caliber#6_mm_.28.236_in.29_rifle_cartridges for example)?

3. Does anyone have a nice comparison pic like the one on the List of handgun cartridges? A picture with maybe .22LR, 5.56 NATO, .243 Winchester, 7.62 Russian Short, 7.62 NATO, 300 Win Mag, .338, .50 BMG and some sort of reference item (like the battery) would be really nice.

Question

Anyone know why the 9x19mm Para, a pistol round is listed in rifles.

Excess obscure cartridges

This list, having originally been cultivated from a page from Chuck Hawk's web site, contains a number of fairly obscure cartridges. The list has been filled with these dead links for at least 8 months, and I thought I'd see if anyone would object to a little cleaning up. Just thought I'd put this out there and maybe trim things down at a later date, if nobody objects. Crimson30 22:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up some more cartridges and reverted back to proper flat list IAW Wikipedia:When_to_use_tables. Crimson30 19:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting?

How are these rounds sorted within each caliber range? It would make sense to me if they were strictly in order of increasing caliber, and then by something else. Another reasonable alternative would be increasing caliber, but with metric and non-metric calibers seperate. (This would make finding a certain round easier.)

Is there some ordering that I just can't see given my lack of sleep? Aij 05:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree... the ordering is a tad haphazard. I would think caliber first, then alphabetical. If you're up for the task, I say go for it! -Crimson30 20:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. Took care of it myself. --Crimson30 18:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
