Ok, the regulars here are familiar with 45nut's definition of the differences in projectiles,

Boolits= as God laid it into the soil,,grand old Galena, The Silver Stream graciously hand poured into molds for our consumption. . . Bullets= Machine made utilizing Full Length Gas Checks as to provide projectiles for the masses.

What would be the correct terminology for swaged projo's?

My thought is that swaged with a jacket would be included in the latter part of the above quote. What would swaged projo's for paper patching be called?

To me, projo is a catch all word for the thingamajig that comes out the end of a fire arm barrel due to the high pressure caused by the burning of gunpowder, whether the holy black or the other stuff (white powder).

Cast grease grooved = greasers
Swaged grease grooved - squeezer greasers
Cast paper patch = slicks
Swaged paper patch = squeezer slicks

All are boolits...

Projo sounds like a procedure I would have done by a proctologist...as infrequently as possible.
