So this morning I woke up and started thinking about ammo interchangeability. For example;
if your rifle is chambered for 5.56 you can also fire 223 and with the right BCG conversion 22lr.
A .45/70 chamber will only shoot the .45/70, a .45/90 will shoot both, a .45/110 will shoot all 3, and a .45/120 will shoot all 4.
Same exact thing applies to the .50/70, .50/90, .50/110 and .50/140 BP cartridges.
Granted the last 2 are more obscure references, but hopefully the idea is understood.
My question is this, does anyone have such a chart/info that shows what could work with what ammo in order to utilize the most for that particular firearm? Does anyone have that information to share with our forum either in a pictorial chart or text form for both handgun and rifle? I would greatly appreciate the help anyone can lend.
