Make sure and buy sizing dies.
I'm fairly certain that as a forum we came come up with some consistent advice, once we weed out the disinformation. Believe me- there is a lot over there, too. Nowhere is fact from fiction sorted as veraciously and consistently as THR though- and I believe that to be one of the greatest assets in discussing firearms related matters here. The mods here do a better than most job of keeping it civil and on course.
If they can do it/with Droolits, we can do it here.
I think a cast bullet discussion on the THR level is quite appropriate. We aren't going to get a casting sub-forum, so we get to do it in reloading.
The knife guys don't get a knife bench subforum, so I think thats only fair.
Not really, but it sounds good, right ?
I vote that be the first point of consensus : They are "Bullets". There is no enchanted stream of glistening silver kissed by Jeebus and coddled by yearling mermaids anywhere near my house. The fact that we don't go in for any of that crap here might be the very reason we call them Bullets, not drool cups. OR sausages. MAybe we could call them flying beans, blessed by the creator to only hit our targets.
I have Moulds ( you may have molds- but probably in and around the bathroom, and your breadbox). They are filled with lead alloys, which come from a Furnace. Out of these fall "bullets"- which we use for inserting into properly sized, primed, and charged cases for shooting things with. Unless you are shooting without cases- but I digress. This Mould part may be just me, but dangit, they are certainly called bullets.
