    Can anyone provide a list of definitions for the acronyms used on the site? examples:6.5 CRD or SGD,PRC,LC


    6.5 CRD = 6.5 Creedmoor (rifle cartridge)

    PRC = Precision Rifle Cartridge (6.5 and .300 by Hornady)

    LC might be Long Colt

    SGD might be Springfield?

    An interesting side note, maybe. When I started at NASA, they issued me a two-volume set of official NASA acronyms - with regular supplements issued as needed. I attended many engineering meetings where the entire conversation consisted of nothing but verbs and acronyms. In their defense, if they had to voice the entire meanings every time, the meetings would have never ended.

    (In Volume Two, I discovered that RAAB in NASA-speak refers to a Remote Audio Access Box. No kidding.)

    I remember those NASA acronyms from Alan Shepard. "A-OK." My fourth grade English teacher was not pleased with that word.
