Not A Comment On The Metric System

I object to the Universal Metric Cartridge Naming System because there are too many duplicates, not because it uses metric.

Using inches would have the same problems.

8x50mmR would still need to have "Lebel" or "Siamese" after 0.321x1.98"-R.

For the record, we went to the moon using the metric system.  Look it up.

Gauges and instruments were labeled in Imperial because of familiarity to the operators, but the math was done in metric.
