firearm caliber table?

Question

im trying to find a table that shows the size of different bullet calibers, not just providing the numbers for the size, but an actual visual representation too.

Hi Seth,,

That can be TUFF these days.
For years and years all the Ammo Mfgrs and the ammo component/reloading mfgrs published exactlty what you're looking for

Just a columnar List.......
Picture................Data
Picture................Data
From smallest to largest,,,usually separated into 2 sections according to Handgun Ammo & Rifle Ammo & even Shotgun Ammo,,,,and they often included "Blank Ammo".

It was EVERYTHING.
The Component Mfrgs dis same thing with their "bare Bullet" product offerings--just the Projectiles.
Which was a diferent & interesting view,,from complete Ammo Cartridges.

I looked at most of the websites,,and it seems they all use
PullDown Menus for specific selection,,,
then focus only on the Single Item.

Some places made actual,physical Displays,,like "Art" to hang on the wall

For an "at-a-glance Comparrison" those are maybe your best best Online.
But they are PHOTOGRAPHS of actual items,,,
not copies of charts or graphic lists.
Makes for an awkward "look"

Publications such as "Shooter's Bible","Gun Digest","Cartridges of the World" usually have good lists& pictures.
Most libraries have them,or can get them.

Here's some that might be of use to you,,

Click on a Type/Selection,,then scroll way down the page.
It's "bullets Only",,not entire ammo cartridges,,but may be the best look

Here's a PDF. File of Speer's bullet display boards---you can "zoom in/expand the size"
But it gets bad fuzzy as size increases.
Maybe helpful????

You will find this is a handloaders manual for handgun/rifle ammo, available in libraries, or gun shops.
