    Magnum or not a magnum

    Woke up early this morning and couldnt get back to sleep so the mind starts thinking... what makes a cartridge a magnum or not a magnum. Is it just a name given to a cartridge. If we talk 6.5 for example if the grendel was the first 6.5 round developed could a 260 or x55 be a 6.5 magnum. 6.5x55 would probably be one if not the original 6.5 round developed so could a 6.5 06 be a 6.5 magnum. I also see suppressors marked for magnum or non magnum cartridges, is there a way they determine whats a magnum other than the wording. Theres my moring random gun thought for the day
