What does caliber [cl] measure?

Caliber [cl] measures the bore diameter of firearms barrels or is used as a multiple to denote barrel length relative to the bore size.

Why would I convert caliber to reed?

Converting caliber to reed helps in relating modern firearms measurements to historical or regional length units, useful in research and legal contexts.

Is the conversion between caliber and reed exact?

No, the reed unit varied historically by location and time, so conversions are approximate and should be considered within proper context.
