The cartridge is a personal project of contributer Joe4570 aka Joseph D'Alessandro. The cartridge fails the notability guidelines. There is also a conflict of interest associated with this article as the contributor and owner/proprietor of Real Guns is Mr. D'Alessandro aka User:Joe4570. This article should be deleted. Several reasons for a delete exist for this particular article DeusImperator (talk) 16:51, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Conflict of Interest - User:Joe4570 and Joseph D'Alessandro are one and the same person WP:COI
 * No information outside the single source for all the information regarding the cartridge - Real Guns site (which is owned by Joe4570)
 * The cartridge fails noteworthy guidelines - Very few if any people know or have shown interest in the cartridge outside Joseph D'Alessandro. It is just a pet project of Joseph D'Alessandro.WP:FAILN

You folks don't know what you are talking about. You cite a lack of valid documentation, but your information is fantasy. Real Guns is a class 7 manufacturer and fire arm retailer. We operate an inhouse ballistic lab and we have been building special purpose firearms for twelvr years. The 17-357 RG appears on quickload..

The wiki entry was an attempt to share design details and collected data. I did a draft and a number of them wiki regulars made it a clean entry.

I publish weekly on Real Guns, a digital publication owned by RGI Media, Inc. and I write a monthly column for Brownells. I don't doubt there is a conflict of interest, but it's not on this end.
