Love the pictures gang.
And Dave it's a "Lead" thing from the cast bullet board & I'm glad it didn't offend. I'm here to enjoy.

It is like a fraternity handshake, or a Semper Fi or a slap on the fanny by a team mate or.......

You got it Marine.
You guys are like a bunch of teenagers looking at their first girly magazine

This is one of a pile of pretty little forty caliber range fodder. They will get the tumble lube treatment but they look better for picture time before that. This was from a Lee six cavity mold.
OP
First of all from all the pictures we have a cast of casters here. HEE HEE
And Brother Wayne, if you lived here I'd put a saw in your hands 'cause there's times I could use a little help.

LAH,
Looks like I would just take my pay in firewood and boolits and we'd both be ahead.

My back hurts just looking at all that wood. Burned through 4 cord this winter, and have about a cord left in the basement, and 2 or so of green stuff outside my bulk-head that needs to be cut up. Will have to get to cutting sooner than I'd like. 
OP
Nothing quite like firewood. Not sure how much I've done over the years but surely it's been a bunch.
I'm with Dave on this and just don't get it . Might sound weird but because of this I won't look at the other forum on cast bullets .
Calling them "boolits" just looks and sounds stupid .
My 2 cents .

Mental picture coming into focus:
"THEY SAID THAT BOOLIT WORD AGAIN!"
Or, "MAKES ME SO MAD WHEN THEY USE THAT WORD!
I am a member of both forums and glad to be. They use the word in a way that is almost blasphemous in its definition. I simply use it to describe lead projectiles differentiating between them and jacketed. It is a "cutsie" thing for me.
But really, it isn't a cuss word or vulgar or .... and there is a lot of knowledge, information, opportunities for procuring equipment and camaraderie around that aspect of our hobby.
One thing I do know too, you staying away from the castboolits doesn't effect them one iota. Was just over there tonight and they didn't even know you weren't there!
p.s. Have you ever done any reading of history before Webster published his American Dictionary? Pick up some stuff on Lewis and Clark. They often spelled things wrong different ways over and over and over again. To put this much emphasis on something so menial is well........You fill in the blanks.
Have you ever abstained from something else because there was a word used you didn't like? Say a TV show or movie at the theater or a coworker that uses God's name in vain? No, probably not. Not many do stand up for things like that. They gobble down curse words brought into their own living rooms night after night after night in front of their kids or wife without batting an eye. Let someone get "cute" with a word describing bullets and "I'm gonna keep my toys at home" thing comes out. If you want to admit to something sounding stupid, there it is friend! In a nutshell!

Sounds like discussions I've seen on "clips" vs "magazines", with the major difference being Boolit is sorta like a short hand notation. It's much easier to write Boolit than specifying it's a cast lead bullet.
Thanks for that information. I to had no idea of any distinction between bullets and boolits. Thanks.

Like I said before Nick, I didn't bring it up to offend anyone. If "boolits" sounds stupid to you probably many other words I use would also.
Being from West Virginia & of coal mining stock I've been laughed at & of by my fellow soldiers when I left the protected confines of the coal camp & company houses were I was raised.
Moving to Montana to drive truck for Sammons Trucking Co. I found myself having to spell words over the phone to my dispatcher because they couldn't understand my tongue. It didn't stop there; I had to explain the meaning of words I used as "they had never heard such". I used a slang speech which others of my kind understood but outsiders didn't.
I guess those on the Cast Boolit Board speak a little different tongue but so do those on this board. Three screw, four screw, five screw, pre lock, post lock, things you don't hear much of from the factory that produced the arms we love yet we know that of which those on this board speak.
So, come on over to the Cast Boolit board & enjoy. No one I know of will be offended if you use the word "Bullet".
