In my world "bullets" are store bought and "Boolits" are home cast!

Oh, and you misspelled it------boolits, no hyphen. _______________________________________________________________ Ok, makes sense now. I had to laugh when I read the post in the link you provided where another forum doesn't allow the use of "boolits". Thanks for the link, I didn't know there was a site dedicated to cast bullets, oops boolits. A great new place for information. Oh, and you misspelled "miss use". Should be "misuse". Unless you know some one named Miss Use.

I cast and sized my own bullets for years but got a weak moment and sold my gear. While I recently considered getting back into it, I can get hard cast bullets plenty cheap from a small local company and it's just not worth it.
Not correct. Are you kidding? I still have a bucket of wheel weight ingots in my barn. I used a cast iron cornbread mold for them so each looks like an ear of corn with "WW" stamped on each one. Flash |

After a lengthy discussion in the past, it's been decided to make sure "bullet" is used for both here. Long story short, if one can't understand reading in the context in the body of a post on which one is being discussed...

It's a funny thing about the spoken and written word. No matter how clear you think you are being, no matter how fully you understand the thought you are trying to convey, there will always be someone who does not understand what the author or speaker is trying to say. But I do apologize if I offended your sensibilities in any way.

On that note, there's one thing on that topic that I find a little humorous. I am a frequenter of "castboolits", and have been using that "slang" for years. It's so ingrained in me that I caught myself using it in writing a note to my wife that I was "out in the shop casting boolits" one evening---as if she a) knows what the difference means, or b) really gives a darn either way...

I've been casting for 40 years and have never once cast a boolit or smelted my wheel weights. 40 years.....Oh my God.

I think if the question of lead bullets vs jacketed being proper, I'd say that there is that elitism is the problem. I believe it is just plain stupid to pay crazy amount of money for 1000 JHPs when I could buy a couple 5 gal buckets of wheel weights and shoot a whole lot more.
