Being a newcomer here, can you tell me when a bullet becomes known as a "boolit"?

It's an Americanism for Cast Bullets.
The cast boolit users call jacketed bullets 'J-words'!!!

Thanks for that. I now know the difference but don't have a scooby about most of the rest of the stuff on that site yet!

Can I have a green one please?

***Discalimer***
I hearby disclaim that even though I am diabetic you are not responsible should I lapse into a diabetic coma as a result of being given said wine gum.

I have added the disclaimer after a good friend of mine thought it would be OK to bring me 12 extremely jammy and sugar coated jam donuts on Saturday :squirrel:

My brother had good results with Saeco 140 gc in his Mauser 96,using Tecna shotgun powders.If you can find this powder in UK I will ask him for details.Here it used to cost about 35 € for one KG.
