[edit]This is the current style
| Name | Bullet | Length | Rim | Base | Neck | OAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .50 Action Express | 12.7 (.500) | 32.64 (1.285) | 13.06 (.514) | 13.89 (.547) | 13.72 (.540) | 40.89 (1.610) |
| .50 Action Express | 12.7 (.500) | 32.64 (1.285) | 13.06 (.514) | 13.89 (.547) | 13.72 (.540) | 40.89 (1.610) |
| .50 GI | 12.7 (.50) | 12.19 (.480) | 13.36 (.526) | 31.01 (1.221) |
I propose this:
| Name | Case type | Bullet diameter | Neck diameter | Shoulder diameter | Base diameter | Rim diameter | Case length | Cartridge length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .470 Nitro Express[1] | rimmed bottleneck | 12.27 (.483) | 12.7 (.500) | 13.41 (.528) | 14.53 (.572) | 16.41 (.646) | 82.55 (3.25) | 98.04 (3.86) |
| .475 Nitro Express[2] | rimmed straight | 12.09 (.476) | 12.75 (.502) | - | 13.84 (.545) | 15.77 (.621) | 83.82 (3.30) | 97.03 (3.82) |
| .50 Action Express | case type | 12.7 (.500) | 13.72 (.540) | 13.89 (.547) | 13.06 (.514) | 32.64 (1.285) | 40.89 (1.610) |
Tell me the first is more intuitively useful... Or look at this:
| .500 S&W Magnum | |
|---|---|
| Specifications | |
| Bullet diameter | .500 in (12.7 mm) |
| Neck diameter | .526 in (13.4 mm) |
| Base diameter | .526 in (13.4 mm) |
| Rim diameter | .556 in (14.1 mm) |
| Case length | 1.625 in (41.3 mm) |
| Overall length | 2.10 in (53 mm) |
| Primer type | Large pistol |

Hi, just a short proposal:
I'm not sooo experienced with those specifications but it would be a good idea to give the used measure for each column.
Just like its nearly useless to me to read that some are mm and others are caliber/inch; how about stating in the table which is actually used for which?
