Default How would you like to be in charge....
...of coming up with snappy names for new cartridges?

Grendel and Blackout are pretty good. 6.5 Creedence sounds better than 'Creedmore'. Popular references, you know.

Here are some names I'd use:

.38 Extreme

.38 Effective

.38 Repulse

.38 Venom


It's easier to think up names I WOULDN'T use:

.38 Vulnerable

.38 Discount

.38 Pathetic

.38 Insecure

.38 Silly
