    Side bar: why is “bbl” the abbreviation for “barrel?” I can see it being an abbreviation for “bull barrel” (sort of). But since “barrel” is one word and has only one B, I’ve always wondered about that usage. See it pop up here once in a while, so I’m sure that after 40 years or so talking about barrels, I’m missing something. I now return you to your Ruger programming!

    Because it is the abbreviation for the volume unit of a barrel. As in a barrel of oil.
