My elementary school teacher said that if you divide any measurement given in millimeters by 25.4(which is how many millimeters there are in an inch) the result will tell you what the measurement is in inches. Don't even need Google for this one!
or 0.0393701 in./mm X 14.7 mm =.5787404 in. Basically .58 caliber

Reply #4 said Google it also, if you don't have internet at the range or sitting in the workshop etc, most phones have a calculator (I don't have net on my phone) and the divide by 25.4 is a no brainer.
Guess you could measure it with mics or calipers that give results in inches.
Next thread on the forum when I looked at this one was ‘fast gas’, about a suicide with a blank charge.
The autopsy concluded it was done with five g of powder.
Spence did a conversion to 77 grains, I did a quick and dirty in my head to about eighty.
Not every one knows the formulas, and since school was so ‘last century’ for most of us some forget formulas they don’t use every day.

I just grabbed Webster's and looked up "weights and measures." At the bottom of that table is footnote 1 that says "For U. S. equivalents of metric units see Metric System table." Then I found that table and learned that one millimeter equals .039 inches, so I multiplied that by the 14.7 millimeters you asked about. Piece of cake.
