Interesting chart of rifle and handgun cartridges

Post by getitdone1 »

Here's a chart of rifle and handgun cartridges. Some missing but about all, if not all, of the most popular are there.

Interesting to see the dates each was introduced. The 22 short is one of the most interesting and goes way back.

Thanks for that - nothing newer than 1980.

Unsound info right off the bat. Look at the listing for the .450 Boxer or Adams. They have jumbled a rifle and pistol cartridge together in one listing. (58MM long, I don't think so). I stopped reading there.
