Castpic of the Month Topic Suggestions

[mtnman31]

I thoroughly enjoy the castpic of the month thread. We have some good photographers out there and I also enjoy seeing other people's perspective of this hobby. I'd like to see if there are any suggestions for castpic of the month topics. Personally, I'd suggest the following:

Antique Firearms - Showcase your rifles/pistols/shotguns that are pre 1900's. My antiques are fed an exclusive diet of lead.

Gun Cabinets - there are lots of ornate and fine gun cabinets and gun racks out there. Lets see some photos of how you display or store your prized lead slingers.

Anyone else have suggestions for something they'd like to see?

Scantily clad (just kidding) Flintlocks/muzzleloaders.

I would have to do something different, always get complete penetration,,,

[Grendel99]

Hehe, I only have one recovered cast bullet. That's why the category would be so neat. A recovered cast bullet after its been shot into game is like a unicorn or some mythical creature!

It is Hunting Season pretty much everywhere by now so at least maybe our in the field Success pics?
Nov. Dec. or both months even but only one entry per month, must be different if you enter both months.

[solderboy]

loaded cartridge collection or boolit collection

[sojerguy]

On seeker's suggestion. Ranges seems to me to be a decent choice.

Case conversions, swaging, boolit traps, loading benches, smelting set ups, casting set ups, lead stash, inherited arms, break opens, hammer guns, boolit storage, processed kills (mounts, furs etc.) shooting benches.

welcome aboard OS OK.
That's a very good suggestion. I did do one contest similar to that a couple years ago, and could surely see doing something along those lines again...soon :)

Has there been an expanded hollow point bullet photo thread yet?

sort of...there were two threads where a recovered boolit is 'part' of the theme.

June 2014, A single cast boolit:choose a good boolit (it can be a recovered boolit)

Anything to do with lube sizers, making lube, sizing die storage or just anything to do with lubin and sizin

[user55645]

How close to the muzzle can you get a squib?

[lavenatti]

How about what we use to hit our sprue plates? Sticks, hammers etc.

[zubrato]

how about holstered carry guns, carry gun sight picture, holster wear, and second on the sprue plate tappers!

by the way it's sad the previous themes don't repeat and remain closed. id love to contribute to some, knowing full well i couldn't win. most i just didnt know about.

[Michael J. Spangler]

What about coolest berm finds.

I've founds some cool boolits when picking the berm.

Oh, I do and will repeat them...I just try not to repeat within the same year.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

Just a heads up for those who like to post pictures, a little advanced notice this time.
February 2016 theme will be "RED"

Basically that means it's open to most any castboolit related topic, but you must include some "RED" in there somewhere...kind of a Valentines thing.

Do not post any just yet...I will open a new thread on Feb 1st (or darn close to it).

Gun rooms/Loading rooms

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

I'm thinking the next contest June-July will be OPEN ...must be castboolit related,
BUT ...a photo of a nice winter scene of a red barn, with the tag line added saying "My casting Shed" DOESN"T COUNT.

Noted :oops::oops::oops:
