Look, idiot... go to google and type in something like
"22 rifle", or "22 centerfire" or "22 caliber" or
whatever turns your crank, and what you'll learn is what
everyone else already knows: all of those centerfire
rifles are *commonly* referred to as 22's, for the
simple reason that they are in fact 22 caliber weapons.

If you had a brain, you'd use it instead of making silly
comments like that. The shells you think are the only
one called a 22 also have specific names. Saying "a 22"
can mean *any* of them.

"Centerfire .22s For Big Game"

"... just like modern centerfire .22s ..."

Obviously credible people do not agree with you.

You are an idiot. The *bullet* is what is 22 caliber.
The shell casing is not described by caliber.

You are an idiot.

Why don't you *learn* something.

Before retirement I was in charge of AT&T satellite
earth stations on the North Slope.

Some people are a lot smarter than you.

Must be, in your mind.

Faced with the above Floyd, one just has to agree to differ! There is
little point in doing anything else. Some think that the moon landings
were faked.
