what is the significance of a gold bullet in your avatar

[Lloyd Smale]

noticed some have one some more then one and some none. Dont tell me i was a good boy one day and got a gold star for it. that cant be true.

[btroj]

If it was for being a good boy neither of us would have one.

A grey bullet is 1000 posts. A gold bullet is 5000 posts. Get to 5000 and the 4 grey plus 999 posts become one gold bullet.

I think of it as a sign that we need to get a life. Wait, that is what my wife says.

[MtGun44]

It means you spend too much time here. :bigsmyl2:

Yes, indeed, and you can't keep your fingers off the keyboard.

[runfiverun]

hey,, i resemble that remark.
they stop you at two each.
and the little gold ones are really tumble lubed, you have to get the really big one for a gold plated one.
things are tough all over.

[41 mag fan]

I thought them were powder coated boolits not tumble lubed! :mrgreen:

[429421Cowboy]

Hey i am working on getting my first gray boolit, much less the allowed two gold ones! Sheesh that seems like alot of posts!

[Able 5]

"what do ya get when ya work your fingers to the bone....boney fingers" :holysheep That's a lot 'O' typing, keep it up.

[Blammer]

I don't say nuthin that ain't worth sayin.

I'm just sayin....

[runfiverun]

[geargnasher]

I only go to that place they call "the real world" to shoot and earn just enough money for food and shooting supplies.

[Bad Water Bill]

Each GOLD BOOLIT represents 3 keyboards ruined with coffee spray:)

[btroj]

Bill, I have a gold bullet and I don't drink coffee.

I think it may epresent the number of major events in the household we missed because we were online......

[472x1B/A]

Boolits? Who's worried about boolits? I'm working on my second Winston simplified dictionary. Sheess

[SlippShodd]

they stop you at two each.

Run, are you saying you won't get another gold boolit in 77 more posts?
And who has the highest post count anyway?

mike
(barely made .30 caliber...)

[Bad Water Bill]

mike

A certain retired N Y State Trooper

Not sure what was his count or where and why he is not here.:(

[1Shirt]

Ya, with who ever said that those of us with one spend to much time on this forum. Not going to stop however.
1Shirt!

[SciFiJim]

Here is the list of who has the most posts.

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/memberlist.php?order=desc&sort=posts&pp=30 (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/memberlist.php?order=desc&sort=posts&pp=30)

R5R needs to pick up his game if he wants to catch up to the leader.

His average of 7.84 posts a day is more than Brett's at 6.62 so he should eventually catch up.

[btroj]

I am 24th? I need to get a life. I didn't realize my addiction was THAT bad.

Everyone, please don't tell my wife.

[SciFiJim]

I just counted and found that I am 94th. I've slipped. A year ago I was in the top 50.

[tomme boy]

I think I need to post some more to catch you guys! I have not even been here that long.

[tomme boy]

Or, you

[tomme boy]

Could

[tomme boy]

Pad your

[tomme boy]

Count like

[tomme boy]

This!!!!!

[btroj]

Nebraskans don't do that. What a typical Iowan.

[Bad Water Bill]

With that stunt he just proved to the WORLD WIDE WEB he was born and raised on CHIKAGO.

No one else would dare to pad their count that way.:kidding::bigsmyl2:

[btroj]

Nah, a guy from Chikago would also add the posts of his dead grandmother and a kid down the street.

[Artful]

Geez, I'm currently 62nd - I really should call Boolit Casters Anonymous

[runfiverun]

woohoo im #2,i'm #2.
man,, that just don't quite have the right ring to it.
i'm going back to just posting +1 now.

[SlippShodd]

Everyone, please don't tell my wife.

She thinks you're playing piano at the brothel?

[Bad Water Bill]

Nah, a guy from Chikago would also add the posts of his dead grandmother and a kid down the street.

I visit SKELETON PARK every night and add to my list.:bigsmyl2:

[sheepdog01]

It will be a while before I take the lead.

[Lloyd Smale]

13th, that figures.

[SlippShodd]

The top 10 list? The only 10 members with a zip code sized post count.
Only 37 Golden Boolits awarded thus far.
The nearest contender for the 38 Special slot hasn't been here since last September.
12,120 registered lurkers (took the time to register as members and have zero posts).

Shall I go on with mindless stats? I'm only doing this to avoid processing any more .223 brass or boolits. My brain and my fingertips are numb. Why didn't somebody warn me that taking up casting for .223 would involve snapping itsy-bitsy hunks of copper on to the bases of teensy-weensy hunks of lead?

mike

[runfiverun]

wait till you can't see them very well..
i get such good fill out on mine i end up tapping the g/c on the base.
which translates into hitting my fingers with a tack hammer for about three hours at a time.

[SlippShodd]

wait till you can't see them very well..

Already there. This 3 year old eyeglass prescription is long overdue for change.
I wasted a pile of time this weekend trying to turn a tool that would help with these, and got close. Still ended up just pressing them in place and pushing them against the edge of the bench 'til they snapped in. PITA. I'm used to the bigger ones that just seat in the sizer die just fine. Can't seem to keep the micro-boolits lined up well enough for that. Maybe another mod to the die... :)

mike

[Bad Water Bill]

THE CHALLENGE

That is what casting and loading are all about.

Then when you get to be my age you can say "I remember when I could see G Cs and them little boolits".:bigsmyl2:

[runfiverun]

noe sells a little champhering tool for gas check bases.
everybody said " what is that for"?
i use the outside champhering tool for the rcbs powered green thingy.
the ones i have to cut goes into a separate pile.
i guarantee my next order to noe will include one of those tools.

i think blisters would be less painfull.

[jeepyj]

Holy smoking barrel I better quite my job so I can catch up.
I'm glad someone asked I was wondering - jeepyj

[palmettosunshine]

Ahhh, one more of life's little mysteries solved. I'll sleep well tonight.

[btroj]

Not to beat up on Lloyd but he made over 8,000 posts before he asked what a gold bullet meant?

Maybe we need a sticky?

[Bad Water Bill]

Now don't pick on Lloyd.

Remember he lives so far back in the woods his electric and puter reception are delivered via BARBED WIRE. :bigsmyl2:

[runfiverun]

i know his house phone is still hooked up to the barbwire fence.
ain't no-one on the other end no more but....

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to be the first to mention it. It just goes to show the the comments he has made were done so in interest to the art and not to show how much he likes to talk.:kidding:

[Lloyd Smale]

come on btroj. You allready know im a little slow! You shouldnt pick on the mentaly challanged!!;)

Why not? This whole CAST BOOLIT thing is a mental challenge.:)

By the way What DO they charge for those GOLDEN boolits?:roll:

[44man]

I will tell the truth to all of you! :mrgreen:
It means I think I know too much and waste too much time on this stupid machine---so there, the whole truth!
But then, there are no folks I would rather waste time with then everyone here.

[cbrick]

I've got another question . . . On the front of the forum where it lists all the members online what is the purpose of the + sign after some of the names? As an example I just cut & paste this name <Bob Krack+>. Just something I've noticed every once in a while.

Oneokie straightened me out on this awhile back. A name with a + beside it is on your 'friends' list.

[cbrick]

Ah ha as the light goes on. Thanks, been curious about that for some time and never put 2+2 together.
