As long as the boolit doesn't have a full length gas check, it's a boolit.

I think they are referred to as a "formal boolit" if they are wearing a metal top hat????

If it's wearing a metal top hat, it would be called a "bullet" instead of "boolit".

What about a half jacket? I draw the line at swaging vs casting. A gas check is put on with a sizer, a half jacket is swaged on.

That might be considered a hybrid, and called a 'boulit'

You cast it, you lubed it, you decided gas check or no gas check. Size or no size.
Tis a boolit.

I'm confused now ....... if you put a gas check on a Boolit then run it through a sizing die ....
I got it gas checks are a gate way drug to swaggering ,

That is what I call it also. If it have a half jacket then it is just a bullet not boolit.

I always thought a gas check still was considered a boolit. You still have to lube or PC it.
Are there any competitions that say lead boolits only? What do they say about gas checks?

I vote yes, if its cast its a boolit.

A boolit is made by melting lead and pouring it into a mold. Adding a skirt (aka gas check) is just dressing up a boolit...
