I have seen on a different type forum, a thread of definitions related to what we do and talk about. (The other forum was a Jeep forum). Anyway, we can list and share what some of the terms mean, what acronyms are, and abbreviations for confusing language.
If there is already a thread that does this please forgive me as I have not found one.
THIS IS NOT THE THREAD I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, but a precursor to get one started.
For example:
Smelting pot—a pot to melt large (20–400lbs) quantities of lead/alloy. Ie range lead, wheel weights, roof flashing....to make ingots with.
Melting pot—a small pot to melt pre-made ingots for use in casting boolits.
IIRC—I have no idea if this is a forum member or a term.
“J” word boolits—a jacketed boolit. Kinda goes against why we cast boolits.
Boolit—another term for bullet/projectile.
COWW—clip on wheel weights for automotive type tires.
SOWW—stick on wheel weights for automotive type tires.
BRN—Brinell hardness rating???
M/L—muzzleloader
Pb—chemical element designation for lead.
Sb—antimony
Tn—tin
Zn—zinc
.
.
.we all keep adding terms and definitions.
Is this a dingbat idea? Please advise.
