Nice video but did I miss the close up photo of both rounds, or wasn't there one?

Nope...didn't see one.

Probably it's just me, but I'd give it a wide berth because of the name. It seems brimming with hubris.

Not gonna lie, the name is a pretty big turnoff

I don't mind the name. Just means Jehovah. What I do mind is the lack of info on this new development. Will it work in the SKS, AK Style, or bolt guns? Sure would make my CZ a much more powerful rifle.

Yes, it means Jehovah. A clear example of using the name in vain. The cartridge is of no interest to me apart from the name.
The cartridge does not exist. That's what to know about it. It's all smoke and mirrors at this point.
The capacity of the standard 7.62x39 is already underutilized, especially in the US. A simple long overdue pressure update by SAAMI to bring it inline with C.I.P. is all it would take. That, and a pledge by US ammo makers to add the 300 to 400 fps it's capable of. No change in the case is necessary. No double shoulder angles or any such horse hockey needed.
These guys are just trying to get hits on their youtube video by stirring the pot with something ridiculous.

Well, it is from the Miracle Cartridge Company.

Forget the cartridge closeup, what about that wacky spiral gas tube? 
I can see that vibrating with each shot and lasting about 4 rounds fired before it bursts!

The coiled gas tube is not new nor limited to YouTube Inventions.

For a rifle cartridge, I prefer the name Creedmoor to, ... whatever.

Exactly right. They are used on some short barreled ARs as a sort of backdoor way to keep port pressures down.

Lots of ”new” rounds are just old ones loaded for modern propellants and rifles, then they do something to make them NOT backwards compatible, to keep people from getting hurt by using them in an old firearm than can’t contain the additional pressure.
A longer case is pretty common, they added a belt to the 450 Marlin and it’s not even as “hot” as you can load the 45-70 for a Ruger #1 but it’s more than you would want to set off in an old trapdoor, thus the part that makes it incompatible, with them.
Some don’t ensure this and kabooms take place as people put the wrong stuff into firearms. Google “300blk in 223 kaboom photos”, for lots of examples.
Changing things might not be for any improvement but to help save people from themselves.

No interest whatsoever. Never had interest in the 7.62x39, and I find the name of this variant objectionable. YMMV.

Im going to make a cartridge and call it 6.5 Jezebel.
Also going to make a .350 Essau, so I can hunt some wild game and make a bowl of stew with it

Nah, pigtail gas tubes have been around a long time.
They're a dumb idea, but they're not new, and not unique to this particular idiot and his cartridge.
I'm sure you meant, throw yourself out!You just have to have a little faith.
I’ll just show myself out now.
Yes, all that is true when we're speaking of a real cartridge. But this guy is hiding the "Yahweh" cartridge from view. That's the first red flag. Contrast his behavior with Bill Wilson and his 300 HAMR, which just recently gained SAAMI status. Wilson had closeups and specs all over the place. There was plenty of load and performance data to be found for the HAMR.
I half expect the Yahweh guy to produce a chicken liver and claim he just cured the guy next to him of cancer. Snake oil salesman in my estimation to be sure. Hiding a new cartridge from view is no way to introduce a new cartridge.
Saw this Sunday and still glad I didn't ask. I've made some higher psi Russian rounds for certain Russian shooters. Mine are named " flat primer Mcgee " and "just one more grain"

The standard 7.62x39 handloaded with CFEBLK is all you'll ever need from the cartridge. No need for fancy claims or fancy design or some stupid name.

Nothing wrong with the idea. It’s just 7.62x39 ackely improved. 7.62x39 would benefit from being blown out more than most because of the body taper and shoulder angle. If nothing else it would help with case life which is a good thing since 7.62 brass doesn’t grow on trees. If they had called it something else and were renting a reamer I would ream one of my barrels. I’m not going to buy a new barrel though, especially not one with that name engraved on it in vain.
