SMLE Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 A bunch of my shooting buddy’s and I have been considering if calibers were “actors” what actor would they be? So far we have reached general consensus that: 338 is Ray Winston 6.5 Creedmoor is Lionel Blair 303 is Henry Cooper 308 is Michael Caine 223 is Larry Grayson 455 Webley is Errol Flynn 44/40 is John Wayne 9mm parabellum is Hardy Kruger At the risk of being politically incorrect..... 22 short is Jimmy Clitheroe......! 45/70 is Lee Marvin The question is are we a) mad, and b) is there consensus on our ramblings?

That bald headed Geordie Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yes you're mad but it sounds like fun. I would like to include 6BRA onto the list. I think that the actor would be Arnold Schwarzenegger. But in reality it would be Barbra Windsor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SMLE Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Also, as daft as it seems I’d never considered Hugh Laurie and Alan Rickman as calibres before but do you know........ I think they work 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
