what’s so special about magnums?
A look at cartridge naming conventions.
I guess because the 30 Ass Kicker, Name Taker isn’t a good marketing gimmick?

Hey, I was thinking of inventing the .44 Sodomizer, so don’t steal my idea.

A 30 Name Taker would probably do well against a 5.56 Poodle Shooter.

I still want a revolver in 555 Thumper.
.500 caliber, 500 grains, 500 fps.

Because Ackley Improved, P.I. just wouldn’t sound the same.

.219 Improved Zipper is my favorite cartridge name, EVAR!
Just stay away from those Austrian Mannlichers! Unless, of course, you like that kind of thing. Who am I to judge?

Why stick with the bubbly names at all? A friend of mine used to name his computer programs after the fallen angels in Paradise Lost. I could shoot a .45 Lucifer and feel righteous doing it.

I have a Glock 20. You know– That’s the one chambered in .40 Smith & Wesson Magnum.
