Over Sized Luger Bores

They rarely seem to use the actual caliber in the name of the cartridge. I still remember how confused I was, when I found out that the .218 Bee, .219 Zipper, .220 Swift, .221 Fireball, .222 Remington, .223 Remington, .224 Weatherby Magnum, and .225 Winchester all used .224 diameter bullets. Apparently none of the so called .38 cartridges used .38 caliber bullets. They actually are smaller than .36!!! What is going on, I thought... Advertising..
