Go to the Patent and Trademark web site and snoop about. Nothing on the term Blackout or Fireball at all but 6.5 Grendel is there in black and white.
The issue is this. No company or individual will touch the system until it is released as a trademark. A lawyer will gladly charge you 300 an hour to tell you why.
The fact that it is released to SAAMI makes no difference until that issue is resolved.
Sorry if I raised a ruckus. I was simply stating a fact that has and will cause some company a headache and lighten their wallet. It happens pretty often in other industries and is well documented.
