.23 caliber

[levigne25]

I got a question on caliber , is a .23 caliber the same as 223 ?

[Pudelpointer]

No.

.23 calibre is the government's way of saying 6mm (.243) minimum.

[levigne25]

Ah ok cool thanks so a 223. 5.56 is smaller then .23 caliber then ok cool

[levigne25]

Was checking out the regs back home in New Brunswick for when I go visit

It's all in decimals that pertain to how much of one inch. The bigger the number, the bigger the calibre bullet.

.223 is smaller than .23. Right?

[Rman]

It looks like they are from "back east", so they could easily be .007" ahead...

.009" in Newfoundland...

And the .223 rem uses a .224" bullet.

With what he was asking, I didn't figure he needed more decimals to throw him off even more. Lol

You are probably right about that. Heaven forbid I tell him that the 220swift also uses .224" bullets.

Or that the .22-250 use 0.224's too.

Or that a .300 Win Mag uses 0.308" diameter bullets.

Or that 7.62 x54 uses .311 diameter bullets as opposed to 7.62 x51, which uses .308.

Heck, or a .280 Remington uses 284 bullets.
Or that our .303 British rifles use .311 or .312 depending on the manufacturer!!

Legally yes, on two conditions, a non resident of New Brunswick can buy a NB resident hunting licence or fishing licence and can apply for draws if they were born in NB and they also have to own real property, i.e. house or land located in the province of NB with an assed taxable value of (last time I looked a few years ago) $30,000.

So yes you can be a resident of Alberta or any other province/country if you own a summer cabin or second home or property worth more than 30 grand and the taxes are not in arrears and you were born in NB you can hunt and fish in NB as a resident no matter where in the world your primary residence and citizenship currently is.

Thank's for the info !!!

I would like to see the provinces get their acts together, and only allow a person to hold resident licenses in one province at a time. If the person purchases resident licenses in one province, that should disqualify them from purchasing resident licenses in any other provinces for that year. Now that everything is going computerized, it wouldn't be difficult to do.

I'm so confused, got the regs out, scientific calculator out, socks off, and my pants off so I can count to twenty and a half...
