Cartridge names have little or nothing to do with the barrel or bullet diameter. From the name "9 mm Parabellum" alone I would only deduce the diameter was somewhere between 8 and 10 mm. You have to dig a little deeper to find the mominal size and tolerances for these diminsions.
Examples: 400-360 Purdy .367 bullet 400-360 Westly Richards .360 bullet 600 Nitro .620 bullet 375 H&H .375 bullet 30-06 .308 bullet 308 .308 bullet 38 Special .357 44 Special .429 32 ACP .311 7.62 Nagent .295 (7.62 mm = .300") 7.62 Tokarev .308 or larger etc. |
