Both terms describe the diameter of the bullet in decimal parts of an inch. For example, a .357 bullet is 357 thousands of an inch in diameter and the .45 bullet is 45 hundredths of an inch in diameter. These labels of bullets are most common in the United States. Much of the world refers to bullet sizes in metric terms, i.e. 9mm means a bullet that is 9 millimeters in diameter.
