[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 680767, member: 13833"] I think magnum is a term that appeals to our "machismo" and it is used as a selling point. It just happened that the large cases, at least on this side of the pond, were belted so that is what we typically think of. A 12 gauge round can be 2 3/4" and be magnum or even target depending on what you load it with so in my opinion, magnum is whatever you want it to be. It is considered to be more powerful than std. (whatever that is):D....Rich [/QUOTE]
