[edit] Caliber pages Stubs?

These are all very good articles, but since most of these pages are short, wouldn't it be more effective to have all of them merged into single pages? This could be applied to the 9mm cartridges, and the .22's for starters, since there are so many variants of those specific ammunition types. An added bonus is that people who were unfamiliar with the specific types wouldn't be confused by an unecessary disambiguation page.GameJunkieJim 13:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definition of hand gun cartridge?

Whats the definition to be used on this page? Its not stated. If a cartridge was first made for one or another then it should be listed as first one or both?. Or should now the 45/70 has been in a hand gun it should listed as a pistol cartridge? Then both lists should just be combined as there will be examples or nearly every one in the other. So how is it decided if it belongs in both lists? The makes desciption of the cartridge when first released, then if not description was it forst commercially made in pistol or rifle as the decider?--Big5Hunter 08:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
