Would it sound stupid to call bullets, Bergers or Amax instead of bullets?
Does anyone not refer to them by their proper name?
Hey bro I killed that squirrel with a 30 grain kill pill made by death bra internationalJust as long as we stop referring to them as "pills".... drives me batty. Seriously though, if you're talking to a serious marksman they usually go by manufacturer name or acronym, so you can't go wrong.

I don't know firearms lingo, obviously. I don't want to sound like a complete idiot when I'm talking to more knowledgeable marksman. I just realized I have not thought of bullets as "bullets" in many months.
You get way more street cred if you mention AMP jackets, moly, rebated boat tail, and secant ogive in any particular order. Eventually most AR jockeys at the 50yrd berm doing mag dumps will think you are a reloading GOD.

Don't say anything mentioned in my previous attempt at a sentence. Try not to even use any of those words.

My Battalion Commander asked if there was a "real" difference between M118 and M118 LR. I went into a very oversimplified explanation of Ballistic Coefficient, comparing the 168 SMK HPBT and the 175 SMK HPBT.
I went through the very same back in 2001 when justifying why we needed to pull the entire loadout of M118 from the boat for M118LR prior to deployment. At least I had the CWO5 Bn Gunner on my side because the BC REALLY didn't want to listen to a Sgt even when we explained to them how much more accurate they were, but my own analogy involved something to the effect of "would you rather us drive a VW Bug or a Corvette in a race for our lives?" I think he agreed just to get me out of his office and back below the "O" levels "where I belonged".My Battalion Commander asked if there was a "real" difference between M118 and M118 LR.

Now, in their minds, I am the god of reloading, and all before me tremble.
I name each and every one of them.
My reloading process for 50 rounds can take weeks.
