Thanks, Buzz.  That does clear it up.

I first crossed swords with Jim Brick around 1995 
or so when I mentioned that I owned an Argentine 
Mauser rechambered in .30-'06.  He then sent a 
detailed message to me, personally, detailing the 
many errors I had made, including the actual bore 
size -- I SHOULD have known, but did not then 
know, that the indicated bore size is generally 
an approximation, so that a .30" barrel will be 
something on the order of .308 and an 8mm bore 
will be 7.96mm or the like.  I was humbled, and thanked him.

Jim has vehemently denied ever since sending me 
this message and I DO wish that I had saved it!
