    It's a pretty heavy mix, many of the most popular rounds are also referenced by their metric size but they're not usually 'useful' sizes in either standard or metric.

    For example:

    • .22 LR = .223in = 5.56 NATO
    • 9mm = .357 mag
    • .40 S&W = 10mm Auto
    • .308 = 7.62mm
    • .44 = no common metric eq.
    • .45 = no common metric eq.
    • .50 = 12.7mm
