I have developed the habit of refferring to all solid gun projectiles as boolits. Is this a breach of our rules. If so, how many grooves is the fine?

Read Ken's (45Nut) sticky defining "what is a boolit?"

I think most of us here are pretty lighthearted about what you call a boolit/bullet, although many of us are sticklers for only calling a thing a boolit if we made it ourselves with a mould, whether it's a "slick" for paper-patching or a grease-groove boolit. I even think the swagers making condom projectiles are really making "boolits" because they're making them from basically scratch by hand with a lot of special tooling and skills.

J-words are not boolits.

i still get messed up when i am in the swaging section.
i am using cases to make a jaxket for a boolit to make bullets from/with.
so they end up kinda both.
or what to call the ones i make from cut tubing but cast the rest of the boolit through/inside it in a modified mold.
it's half and half too but not qute the same as the jaxketed/boolit combo,that's point formed.
at least i don't have to lube them....
speaking of which is storebought lube and home made loob?

[geargnasher]

Depends on whether it loobs or seals!
