But if it's on the internet, it has to be true!

I saw that on the internet!

I've found some very glaring errors in the cartridge information over the years, too, things such as the .250 Savage was derived from the .300 Savage...

Or that the .30-30 was the first American smokeless powder cartridge (nuances in that one, but still incorrect).
