[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1863681, member: 2736"] Over the years, many names for performance have been used to describe different cartridges like Nitro, Express, BP Express, Magnum, Ultra Mag and other names picked by the designer to differentiate his cartridge from others. In the beginning, it was used to identify that a cartridge would be more powerful that others for certain uses. Then it became a marketing ploy to sell more/their fire arms. When all of the usual "Magnum" names were used up, they now seem to choose catchy names that indicate something special when in reality, it is just another cartridge that falls somewhere between the smallest and the biggest. Now days the only thing a name does is to confuse or mislead many, and differentiate one from the other for the more knowledgeable shooter/re loader. The days of caliber and powder charge name are long sense gone that could help someone chose what they actually needed. and standardizing to keep things simple are also long gone because any little changes to cartridge design can make them unique. Only the owner needs to know what he needs and wants, the only problem is getting the best cartridge for his/her needs after sorting through all the Hype and names. After all all cartridges are basically the same and kin to each other. Cartridges are much like people, We are all basically the same just with different names, and performance:) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
