What is a league (statute)?

A league (statute) is an old unit of length equal to three statute miles, formerly used in English-speaking countries for measuring distances.

What does caliber measure?

Caliber refers to the internal diameter of a gun barrel or the barrel length expressed as a multiple of that diameter.

Why convert league (statute) to caliber?

Converting enables comparison between historical distance units and firearms-related lengths for technical or historical analysis.
