I Just Got'a Ask??

[Whitespider]

I see and read references to them.
I’ve tried searching the boards.
I’m kind’a new here so I’m gonn’a ask.

I just got’a know, what the heck is a Lee “Soupcan” bullet?
Why is it called a “Soupcan”?
How do I know a “Soupcan” when I see one?

Thanks

I will guess it is a wadcutter for the shape?!?

The Lee C 309-113F ,, has a certain resemblance to a soup can.

Yeah, thanks for asking because I was curious also..
45Nut's definition of "boolit" is right on.. As I was casting ww into "cupcake" ingots today, I caught myself grinin" at the sight of that silver stream..

I see that now Campbell's is advertising their "Vegetarian Vegetable" soup (aka "alphabet soup") as packaged in a 12 oz. wadcutter can.
