My bad, 7mm Mauser (aka 7x57mm Mauser and 7mm Spanish Mauser) uses a 7.21mm bullet (0.284") not 7.24mm as originally posted.

You're a complete idiot. Stop posting.
Oh wait...I see he's slunk off in shame. And all before we got to 100 posts.

The Lazorni uses a 308 barrel and bullet. 2.82 Warbird is a name. If my name is Smith, that does not mean I am a goldsmith, silvermith or blacksmith. And 2.84 is a name that has nothing to do with the caliber of bullet/or barrel. it is just a name.

They all shoot 224 bullets. The name often has nothing to do with the actual bullet/barrel caliber.
I get the feeling Silver Hammer (AKA Sunray) already understands this and is just pulling our chain. No one who has taken the license course could be that ignorant of the basics.

Someone needs to tell Lazzeroni.
The idiot part was his repeated assertion that 7.62x51 and 308 use different diameter bullets which is completely wrong.
And Lazzeroni was a Canadian car-stereo manufacturer who decided to get into rifles. Not sure exactly what to make of that.

BUM, you have an incredible knack of cutting through the crap and getting to the point. Well done.
^ This is just the stuff he hasn't deleted...
Probably back at the reloading bench. There was an article recently on paper-patched bullets; he's paper-patching some .308 slugs to get them up to 7.82 so he can load them in x39 cases. Then, by paper-patching the entire loaded cartridge, he can shoot it in a .30-06 that's had the bore reamed to .311, with just a wee bit of rifling left over...the wildcat is called the .308/7.62/x39/.311/7.82-.30-06WTF Magnum...
Son of Sunray?
It bothers me every time I see "7.82 Warbird". A buddy bought a PGW rifle chambered in 7.82 Warbird, incredible long range cartridge and rifle, but that name... wtf were they thinking?
"War Sloth" was already taken.
don't care about that, it's the 7.82 part that bugs me.
Just the way the bore is measured. Across the grooves vs opposed across the lands.
I know what it is. and of course .308" actually does = 7.82mm, and NOT 7.62.
But the universal metric numbering convention signifying 30 cal is 7.62mm, and using 7.82mm confuses the crap out of people as you can see from the comments.
