98. The problem here
Edited on Fri Nov-21-03 04:13 PM by leanings
is that the diameter of the projectile and the bore of the firearm has little relation to the actual power of the round. For instance, a .40 caliber round is larger in diameter than a .30 caliber round but the .40 S&W isn't as powerful of a round as the .338 Lapau. Caliber is absolutely useless as a means of determining what is and isn't "acceptable" about a round.
