    What do they represent? How does on a acquire them?
    Why are some silver and some gold?

    You get a silver boolit for each 1000 posts, and a gold boolit for each 5000 posts. You're close to getting your second silver boolit!

    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    You are fine. It is not how much you say as what you say that matters. Take that for what it's worth from a guy who makes nine kinds of stupid comments. LOL

    If we could sit down and talk face to face, I'd prove to ya that I'm a sixth degree black-belt of senseless chatter. I guess I don't type fast enough to do it here. jd

    Quality over quantity. You can get a lot of bullets dropping "yeah!" in every pit post if that’s all you want.

    I’m glad someone finally asked that question. I’ve been trying to figure it out too.

    My mistake, but the principle still stands.

    Finster101, you nailed it on the head fella. I once made a post inquiring about an exact boolit and weight, the specific caliber, powder and primer I was working with. I also kindly asked that only those with first hand experience make replies requarding my question. I think I got 3 replies and it wasn't even a rare cartridge I was asking about. Other gun related websites have the same problem. I learned long ago to just scroll on past.
