And let's not get started on .338 lapua magnum.
A bastard child of both American and British measurements, ending up being made by a metric manufacturer.
Designed first by Americans, who took a Finnish round and tried to tweak it, who also tried to get the Finns to produce it, then the Americans basically ran out of money and gave up, then the Brits took over the development, and continued producing them all in Finland...
... I ... think.
The story of how the Lapua came to be is a clusterfuck mess.
