I'm not intending to put the term to use on a wildcat or at least not in the near future.

Such a round would need to be long, tapered and large bore. But is there any need with so many covered already.

I have thought of a modern day example and that is the .500/.416 3 1/4" NE.

My interest is academic. Is the term "owned" by Holland & Holland, Westley Richards, Jeffrey, Rigby or some guild or more likely just a general term such as "magnum" available to anyone?

Interestingly I did a trademark search in the USA before setting up this site with its name and found someone had intended to register the words "Nitro Express" in the category for ammunition but withdrew the application. Turkeys! Of course it wouldn't work. Just a little bit of prior usgae by other parties don't you think?!
