My gunsmith friend built a 17/30.06 for a customer, the guy couldn’t hit anything and complained about "sparkly bits " when he shot….it was the projectile disintegrating

Not that the world needs another one, but they sure are fun. For some reason, I like the 9.3mm or .366 caliber cartridges. They offer a better SD and BC than a comparable weight .375 caliber and just don't get the big news like the .375s do because it is just short of being considered enough energy for stopping a DG charge. Anyway, I would like a few opinions on a name for this cartridge, a few that I have come up with are .366 Bear, .366 Kudu, or .366 Eland (my last name and initials aren't cool enough for this, so they weren't even considered). This is going to take a little while because I am going to seek permission to use the parent case first so there aren't any copy right infringements and such (also, still paying off the caribou hunt). Besides, I'd like to be able to get a little recognition if it actually hits the big market. As we also know, moniker's sell, so a good one would be nice. Thank you.

Eh, I must have missed something; what is this .366 thingy besides .366 caliber?

It needs an Afrikaans name. Call it the 9.3 Voorhamer. (The 9.3 Sledgehammer)

To pronounce "voorhamer", say "for-harmer"

And if you can't quite pronounce "voorhamer", just call it the 9.3 VH for short
