Hi Michael,
And in kind that was just the kind of response I was looking for!!!
It is really fascinating to learn that the term 'caliber' is derived from these lighter muskets, and the note on the premeasured charges in bandoleers...the twelve apostles. It is amazing the dimension added by learning these contemporary colloquialisms!
Thanks so much Michael!
Route 66 calls, and two days til we roll again
All the best,
Jim
