BFR stands for Biggest Finest Revolver made by magnum research...

However, it is also a subtextual acronym for Big F**king Revolver... Eeker

"Boolit" is what a really dedicated cast bullet caster refers to concerning his cast bullets. They refer to jacketed bullets as "condoms".

If a "Boolit" is a cast bullet and a jacketed bullet is a "condom" then what would you call a solid copper bullet?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I guess the next time I find a condom in my sons dirty pants I will have to ask him what kind of "Dangerous Game" he has been hunting!
