Rocky: After reading your books, I'm kind of surprised that you dislike boolits. I always just assumed that the word is used here mostly to differentiate between the 'true' members, and those that are just occasional visiters. Kind of like you flying a 'pig' rather than an airplane. (that is what you called the O2, or am I remembering it wrong?)
I believe that it's because Boolette is a very attractive brunette, and Bullette is just a mousy, plain woman......... And since the site is named in her honor, it just made sense.....
(I know the Originator's story doesn't match this, but hey, which is more believable???)

I was a member here for over a month before I found out what "boolit" meant. By that time I had read Ken's signature and found out what it truly meant. So if the top honcho wants to call it "boolit" then "boolit" it is. No problem. BC
heck even the wife calls them boolits
Ok...it is simple !

Bullets are from some copper covered planet or Gander mountain.
iv'e been seen using both..... :twisted: :coffee: :evil:
I think that a boolit is a cast bullet, so wouldn't a cast boolit be a cast cast bullet?Quote:
Cast boolit= Cast cast boolit
Being on several websites, it took Ken some serious work in chat to get me to type boolit rather than bullet. I don't mind because, I just envision Foster Brooks really, really drunk slur of Booo-oolitsssss! Makes me chuckle a little.
Nowdays, I use the two spellings interchangably.

I find the bickering over nouns to be amusing. John Taffin breaks out in a sweat if somebody calls a sixgun/revolver a wheel gun. Unless you are some kind of word Nazi, what difference does it make?
I never use the term "boolit" but stay with bullet, but I am a retro kind of guy anyway.
I disagree with several above. Cast boolit refers to a subset of boolits and not the only type of boolit. Swaged boolits are boolits too, nes pas!

Veral? who's he?
I like CB's. :)
I like it. and the owners of this site Whom made the word up let me use this site FOR FREE.
It is especially important now that "bullet" is used - more often than not - in newspapers, novels and even police reports to refer to complete loaded rounds.

Gear, I swage some brass jacketed bullets, BT and I go way back ...before he started selling CH die bodies with his improved internal parts on another forum. I did some testing and QC type of consulting with his 44 caliber projectiles. I called them "swedges" for many months til I joined castboolits, then BT PMed me and said, you better quit mis-spelling swaged bullets or people here will give you krap.
So, as I said before, to me...Homemade cast are boolits...everything else is bullets.
-which leads me to floodgate's quote,
apparently everything else is a bullet !
