I got the idea for a "new" cartridge when I saw an article about the 500 SPECIAL, which is made by shortening the 500 S&W Magnum. I had toyed with the magnum but I think its to much of a handful for a light pistol. So if Im shortening the case, why not consider shortening other cases, and if Im making a NEW cartridge, then why not name it something cool.

Im picturing a short fat cartridge (think fireplug) with a lead projo to start.
