HEADS???
probably gonna get kicked off Facist Book. i hope. on a cast bullet site there some panty wearing mommas boy was showing off his PINK 38 spl WCHB HEADS he had loaded. found out the rainbow boolit crowd is calling em HEADS. then some genius asked him " why are you loading them upside down". can't make this shit up! maybe with all the shortages these idiots will start playing with bows and arrows instead of guns. or maybe move to austin/portland/?? and start bitch slapping each other for fun.

My hope is that their friends will find out they bought a gun, shame them into selling it at any cost and I can snap up a bargain without paper attached.
Not that the guvmit does not have everything on me including my DNA profile, but anything I can do legally outside of guvmit purview makes me happy!

I still like the part wherein the act of looking cool, they hold them sideways ALA Hollywood. I love it! I feel so much safer around idiot (wanna-be) gangsters that don't know jack about weaponry.

actually that doesn't bother me because sub 50 IQ idiots gonna do what they do. i'm seeing a lot of newbies on forums asking questions about casting their own "heads" since they can't buy em anymore. then when they barely get the hang of it, they are showing pics if their rainbow colored "heads" and how they did or would perform on game animals. they are convinced sizing/lubing is too slow and backward thinking. the casting crowds forum is mostly filled with paint colors, mixes, hardness of paint, ovens for baking it on etc. they are convinced a HP 240 gr. 44 mag "head" cast to 25 BHN and colored/coated in paint will blow a fist sized hole in a deer driven at 2500 fps. they know the terms, most do anyways, but don't bother to learn the concepts and real life applications. its all totally show n tell to them.

I can tell you a 44 240gr bullet driven at 2500fps well blow a good size hole in a deer.

pdog, I'm sure it will but I load mine w/ a 250 G. Keith + 22 G. of 2400 + I get 1250 MV. I don't know what handgun you are implying to achieve 2500 MV. Perhaps I misunderstood your reply. (If true, I'd like to shoot one, at least once.)

ditto that.
things get real unfun at about 1650 fps. for this guy.

the problem we got here is those new guys are buying lyman molds, and have no concept of making a lap, so they just powder coat them to get the right size.

Have and always will call bullets = heads. Everyone locally calls bullets heads. I think it probably started to distinguish idiots that call cartridges "bullets"

I know. I had to explain the difference to the lady at the post office when I said I was mailing bullets.
