Read the sticky and always listen to the guys with golden bullet awards....
It's what they do when they've been shot.
Shot? You use a shotgun on deer? What size shot? Will 7 1/2 work?
Doe shot.... obviously
Is that a pistol round that is a shortened rifle round ? Or a rifle round that is a lengthened pistol round ?

Yeah, but never listen to the guys with the funny hats. They're a bunch of elitists who try to belittle everyone. Seems they got themselves some kind of little "club".

It's sort of in between a ristol and and a pifle.
You forgot about ignoring people with post counts that look like a ZIP code.
How long do think it'll take for Runfiverun to overtake Trooper Bret?

Well duhhhh.Doe shot.... obviously
Depends on how much he works this winter. Bret did take a break too this summer.
I'm within 1 K of 10,000.
I need to get a life!
Can I tumble lube regular lube boolits? Can I shoot cast boolits in my Glock? Can I load this mystery powder in my boolits? I can't get my 9mm to stop leading....
Tumble lube is ok on regular bullets unless they are GC shot without GC. Glocks require polygonal lube grooves.
So how do you get those golden boolits anyway?

Award or part of the avatar? The award is given by the admins, it is pretty darn rare. Might be 5 out there.
Those that are in the avatar are based on post count. A silver for 1000 and a gold for 5000. Think of the as a measure of how much time we spend here.......
Please don't tell my wife.
As was said, Golden Boolit Awards are very limited. They are awarded in recognition of excellence in contribution to the knowledge of the cast boolit shooting world. When those guys talk, I recommend you pay attention.
We were going to give one to Lamar, but made him a staff member, instead. Staff members can't have them, and we figured he was more valuable on staff, instead of having a trophy. That is also known as screwing up in reverse.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
I listen when they speak. Heck, I even bought a hat like some of them wear......
Guess I will have to keep those zink ww for when the lead runs out.
