[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 73158, member: 2852"] A cartridge doesn't really have to possess any qualities to be labled a "magnum". It was just a marketing tool to sell new calibers being introduced as was the magnum belted case. The belt is meaningless now, and actually was then too. An example was the 240 weatherby magnum and the 416 rigby. THe rigby has no belt like the 240 does, but common sense would tell you which one is the more powerful cartridge. [/QUOTE]
