[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1579340, member: 69192"] If this were my company/cartridge I would keep it the "[I][U]Blackjack[/U][/I]". This distinguishes a particular line of calibers like the Weatherby, Ackley Improved, Sherman. When one hears the name, the mind automatically reflects on the type of cartridge it is, [I]"compact, long bullet, high velocity, short action"[/I]. For me it keeps the name professional. There are cartridges out there that have some weird names like Sooper Dooper, Dagger and such. For me they are not in something that is an easy name to remember or reflect on. When I read about some of these cartridges, I have to Google the name to find out what they are?? There was a particular cartridge in one of the posts that I read just yesterday that was a .270-300 Weatherby with a name attached, had to look that one up. "KISS" principle and keep the name; BLACKJACK. Looks like you have a winner here. [/QUOTE]
