More Howdah fun......
09/08/20 08:46 AM

OK Im truly fixated and maybe just a bit warped when it comes to Howdah pistols. Im in the process of "building" my own version.

So now I need your help naming the cartridge. Im still up in the air as to what to use as a parent cartridge and the final bore size. Im toying with 450, 458, 500 and.... so think the bore size plus the name (as in 458 Lott)

Here are some of the cartridge names Ive come up with; but Im open to suggestions.

500 (Short) Nitro or 500 Nitro Short
500 Express
500 Panthera
500 Kurz
500 Sturm
500 Raj (going for the India feel)
500 Jagr
500 Shikaaree (Hindu for Hunter)
500 Sikari (Nepali for Hunter)
500 Sharpe (I guess I read too many Richard Sharpe novels)
500 Edel
500 Behold
500 Rogue
500 Manchester
500 Inferno
500 Fantom

Im torn between wanting a name that would be appropriate for a 19th Century cartridge and a Modern name

If it's not custom, it's just borrowed
