I did... had a good laugh then read your post again and had another good laugh I then typed this response and had an even better laugh...
Good stuff... glad you got a laugh or two out of it.
Thats the trouble with the world these days, not enough humour... too darn much politics.
Most likely 1". Used for almost nothing. You asked
I actually use 1" and bigger quite frequenty in my line of work.
I use wrenches as large as baseball bats on a fairly regular basis at work (small ones too).
1" is a very uncommon size to need. There are very few things that take a 1". I do believe the plastic nut on your toilet tank is 1" though. Usually end up using an adjustable for that
.Ok back to useless calibers.
I think that in keeping with the greening of our society, we should ban any 30 cal that uses more powder than a 308. Allow the 223 and 22 LR, maybe the 45-70. 12 gauge is too big, too much powder. Nothing bigger than 28 gauge. Black powder banned altogether. All lead projectiles banned. All corrosive primers banned.

Liberal, Green or NDP?
Green Liberal Dipper. I have an Elisabeth May blow up doll, a Jack Lenin poster on my wall and a Count (without the "o") Iggy bobble-head on my dash. I only drink milk from smiling cows, and the only bread I eat is made from hand-ground, organically grown vintage wheat fertilized with composted hoot-owl dung.

I'm fairly sure that the vast majority of us know the difference, I just infered that the OP did mean cartridge. At least he hasn't corrected us. Be a pretty boring conversation if was based on pure diameter.

I'd take a .260 over a 25-06 any day....
I'd take a 6.5x55 over a .260 if I had to choose. You can seat the longer bullets out farther without infringing on your powder capacity.

Hate to say it but I have watched common sense disappear at 5000feet per second on this thread.
I disagree the 17 HMR to 17 Rem are an awesome 200 yard gopher round and the 17 Rem will easily do coyotes to 250 yards...
I like this caliber so much that I just bought a 17 Rem barrel for my T/C Contender carbines plan on using it almost exclusively for bobcat hunting.
and who shoots paper other than to sight it in...

Bond's initial Beretta was in .25 ACP: heresy !
That
, and the fact that in the earlier semi-automatic handguns 
, the .25 ACP fed more reliably than the .22 rimfire (sorta like how the .32 ACP was the de facto choice for semi-automatic pistols instead of a .32 rimfire).....
