Question What is your benchmark for a "big bore" bullet?
I know that most folks consider .45 caliber bullets to be big bore, but I've seen folks refer to bullets as small in diameter as .40 caliber to be big bore bullets as well.

I'm curious to see what is the minimum caliber/bore diameter the majority considers worthy of the "big bore" designation.
