The measurement .223 is the diameter in thousandths of an inch. Just under a quarter of an inch. 0 -
You should be able to find an inch/metric conversion chart just about anyplace, probably in about 5 minutes on the internet. If you can't, go to a decent local hardware store and ask them. Most charts will also have inch/fraction conversions, such as .250 equals 1/4 inch, .500 equals 1/2 inch. etc. Some metric conversions may have "tenths" in the equation, and tenths are actually tenths of thousandths, i.e. .2781 The 1 is referred to as a "tenth" by machinists and others who work with this stuff, to avoid the verbal confusion which would ensue if one said: "two hundred and seventy eight thousandths and one tenth of a thousandth."
Much easier to say: "one hundred and seventy-eight and a tenth."
More than you need to know, but I was working within "tenths" last night with some clutch disc, and I had to hold 2.
The chart will clear it all up!0 -
o.k here it goes
in reguards to cal. and mm
what ever the measurement is whether in caliber or millimeter
is the diameter of the bores end
in other words because the cartridge says 7.62x39
does not mean out of box the bulletts diameter is 7.62
it's actually about 7.80-7.85 and the "39" refers to the brass length
