Clarification on "Inventor" of the 300 "Whisper"

[Rattler347]

Just as a clarification; JD Jones did not "invent" the 300 Whisper as the opening article to this site so boldly states.

The cartridge, under a plethora of other names most commonly called 300 Fireball, had been in use for many years prior to JD Jones capitalizing on the name "Whisper" which is of course is his derivative and 'used in commerce' name (although a search of the TESS Trademark database shows no sign when you search for 300 Whisper. That is not to say something else is not registered, but under those guidelines allowable, "300 Whisper" shows no sign, live or dead) of that chambering, but he was rather late in joining many others already offering such a cambering in a number of firearms including the AR15.

This has once again, come up as a topic of conversation with the latest iteration by Mr. Silvers and Remington as the 300 Blackout, simply another variation on a theme.

Bottom line, it is an excellent little round, and I wish Remington all the luck in further mainstreaming what the shooting world has known and loved for over 20 years.
