I've always wondered why more mainstream/factory ammunition seems to skip anything .230 size?
For example .223 skip to .243 then 25-06,260,270 and so on .
Cheers in advance

There was a 230 Ackley with a projectile dia of .230 so it was less than 230 calibre. Projectile dia of a .230 calibre rifle should be around .238. Other wildcats likely exist.
