RE: Where did the term Magnum come from?
Not to be argumentative, the .357 Magnum wasn' t a 1800' s cartridge.....the first use of the term Magnum in firearms cartridges as far as I know was the Holland and Holland 1912 introduction of the .375 H&H " MAGNUM" The .357 Magnum is a 1935 introduction.....sorry ...lets find an arbitor on this issue.....can someone find a " Magnum" prior to 1912?
