I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Lets hope not, as "precisely" the round should measure 12.95mm (0.51 inches) in diameter.

It is the gun that fires this round that is precisely 12.5mm in caliber not the other way around. (snicker)

It would be more correct to say that the bullet is approximately 12.5mm in diameter.

(and I wonder why I have not friends and no one likes to talk to me)

Hey! you think it is easy being a pompous prick? It takes years of practice.... alone.
