>Out of curiousity, did the Canadians equate an inch to 26.5mm? Seeing >as how it isn't that, I mean? No, I don't know why the British standard was called that. Maybe it's a one-inch bore but the cartridge is slightly larger? Although why mix measurement systems in that way, I couldn't tell you. (Still more puzzling, by WWII the British were calling that same standard "calibre 4", by which name it is still to be found in marine supply catalogs today.) --G. -><- Benjamin D.
