Golden Boolit Award - Felix Robbins

[waksupi]

Cast Boolits has decided to honor certain members, for their lifelong commitment to the shooting sports, and their contributions to the world of Cast Bullet shooting.

It seems only fitting, that the first recipient of this award should be our old friend, Felix Robbins.


Felix is a long time member, from back in the old Shooters.com days. I know he certainly helped me along the way to getting the best from cast bullets in a rifle, and that carried over to handgun shooting. I'm sure many others can say the same. Felix was one of the top cast bullet benchrest shooters in the United States. Nowadays, he prefers to make the sticks dance in the river from a well directed shot, than the pressure cooker of national level competitions.
When Felix speaks, all should listen. He knows his stuff, and will not lead you wrong.

Felix has unselfishly given his World Famous Felix Lube to our world, sharing his formula, and explaining WHY each ingredient is in there, and what it does. For any one developing their own lube, his is a good place to start for the basics. Go to Castpics, and look at the Lube section, and you will get the graduate course in this fine multi-purpose lube.

I urge you once again to look at Castpics, and the history section. The following is an excerpt;

"Sundog you asked Felix for the history of Castpics, and he may be too modest to tell you the story. There was discussion of bullet lube going on and it became obvious that Felix was in the know about such. His lube was named FELIX WORLD FAMOUS BULLET LUBE as a takeoff of the Names Herter's used in their book of adjectives (catalog). Testimonies were coming in faster than testimonies about Leupold and RCBS customer service. This board was literally swamped with people asking for the formula."

You can also go to Castpics, for some photos of the Mother of all Smelters, the brain child of Felix and Corky some years ago.

Last but not least, don't pass up Felix's recipe for Egg nog, as the season will soon be upon us.

Thank you Felix, for all your contributions to the shooting world.

Totally unexpected, and, needless to say, I am humbled greatly. What else can be said? ... felix

Hear! Hear!
I am rather a Johnny-Come-Lately to this board. After thirty years of learning the hard way I thought I understood casting pretty well, but in my time here I've realized that my knowledge to date has barely scratched the surface. There are many on this board who deserve my thanks, but Felix would top the list. He has always been patient with my questions and generous with his knowledge. Golden Boolit? A well-deserved tribute indeed!

Well-earned, and a fitting acknowledgement to one of the real experts--and a fine gentlemen who has graced this board for quite some time. I can't count the number of times Felix's general contributions or specific directions have benefited my shooting activities. GREAT information, generously provided and given graciously.

Excellent! Congrats felix. I wonder just how many folks are using your lube recipe? Felix lube is an indispensible part of my cast bullet shooting.

Congratulations Felix. An award by your peers is something to cherish. Thank you for FWFL, an essential part of my casting/reloading and of that of a number of my friends here in Australia.

Forget Merril Lynch. When Felix speaks , people listen.

Congrats., Felix, and good on the Shooters forum for doing this.

Some time back I began reading all the old threads, starting with the last page, reading toward the most recent. I've now read from back to front to page #160. Felix's knowledge is generously spread throughout. Thanks for sharing your knowhow. 'Tuck (Former Bigboomer on the old Shooters.com).
