We have wildcats, for example, ranging in caliber from .20 up through at least .35 and possibly .375 in existence already. We have the slightly stretch version by Von Gruff. There have been lots of discussions about what can be gained from seating the bullet way out but one needs a longer throat to do that.
All of these and more can be discussed in a section of this type.
We could even title it "Grendel-Cats"...

I think that by establishing a section (or sections) specifically for the discussion of such variants, questions regarding such things can be addressed and framed with the understanding that they were variants. I remember having a bit of confusion, early on, regarding the .264 LBC and had, at times, referred to it as a Grendel. (Silly me).
The heading suggested by JASmith, though, was previously offered by another member (Buster). Credit where credit is due, I say. Unless, of course, Joe is paying homage to him w/o specifically saying so.
