    I'd like to buy a vowel...
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    A cut down lever action rifle like the one that Steve McQueen used in the Bounty Hunter. I know that probably isn't correct but that's what I came up with.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    We all know the .357 was the first cartridge ever dubbed “magnum.”

    What inspired the name?

    Shortly after the greatest battle implement ever devised went into service, it was found to have a serious shortcoming, requiring a change in design and retro-fitting of existing guns.

    What was it?

    Wrong from the start. It was the first REVOLVER cartridge dubbed magnum but there were magnum rifle rounds long before, the 1912 .375 H&H Belted Magnum being the best known.

    Big wine bottle.

    Not just pin fire, but also cup fire and teat fire. I forget the name of the one with the priming in a belt around the middle of the case.

    Good one!

    I’m spitballing, but since you didn’t specify groove or bullet diameter, I’m going to say land diameter.
