Help Name Custom .20 Cal

[OutdoorEdventure]

Been working on a cartridge idea. This will be the last missing caliber in my arsenal 17-358cal.

It’s a one of a kind velocities are looking 4000-4400 FPS depending on Hammer Bullet. Literally getting TR and throat cut for 48HH.

He’s asking what to etch on the barrel.

I was gonna just call it 20 Hammer but other ideas
Fire Hammer
Varmint Hammer
Hammer Time
…
Wont be done 4-6 weeks. Wont need name until last week before mailing so what ideas y’all got?!

Is this your own wildcat invention?

You could call it simply the 20-4000 similar to what the 250 Savage was originally called.

Wikipedia has an extensive list of all rifle cartridges (presumably "established" cartridges...). There are only 3 in the 20caliber class and none achieve over 4000fps with a bullet over 40gn like the 48gnHH ED is using.

Therefore, I propose he name this the 20 Super, or 20 SuperED if he wants a more personal touch to memorialize him in shooting lore. This will be the first 20 caliber meeting or exceeding 4000fps with a bullet heavier than 40gn. Well, at least as far as my quick web search takes me.

What's the cartridge case?

I'm stuck for a name

.20 , .200 or .204 could maybe define the calibre in the name but otherwise stumped for now.

Schmo might be onto something with Varmint Hammer
