    If you're in to tinkering and pranks, copper plate a couple of dozen of your cast boolits for him. Then discover them and pass them on - as you shoot cast.

    Many of us have come across these guys and there's no point wasting your time trying to convince them of anything. Last time for me was a couple of years ago. Long after my doubter had run out of ammunition, I was still shooting. I couldn't figure why, for the life of me, he just stood there and watched me shoot.

    When we left, I just grinned as I walked past him. As we drove home my wife said his kid was giving him a hard time about so little ammunition and that he should ask to buy some of mine. As I do not sell ammunition he'd have likely just been more irked so it was a good he didn't ask. Not to mention all the egg on his face he'd have had.

    The 30-30, 45/70 and soon 45acp have only had cast run though them.

    Had a friend tell me the crud from WW would ruin my barrel. Another said he shoots factory ammo so he knows what is in them. I asked what bullet and what charge. "I dunno." was his answer.

    I like to teach people and am bothered when they are too stubborn. I like mtgun Bill's comment! lol

    I love guys like that, of course he doesn't offer a reason why it's not good. Tell him the barrel on his gun will last 25% longer shooting lead bullets. In a revolver, maybe 50% longer. A lead bullet does less damage to the forcing cone over time.

    You all should see the looks I get at the public range when I drag out my .308 win that I built to shoot nothing but cast out of and a box of ammo with lead boolits. Then they really get a shock when I touch it off and it sounds like a regular load, because it is a 180 gr boolit running 2500 FPS.

    Best wishes,

    Sounds perfect... You don't worry about sharing... You might mention that those old yellow casings are inferior to the pretty silver ones, too
