That's because the dealer is used to dealing with thick currents....What happened to the guy when in with his local firearms dealer asked for 30 cal 168 gn heads?
He left with exactly what he asked for..
A new description for ammunition.

bizare world where ignorance is not just accepted but encourage.

Presumably they left with 30 cal 168 gun bullets. I used to be a fish and game merchant and was once asked for a pound of herion. The customer left with a pound of herring, not what they asked for but what I knew they meant. I didn’t correct them.What happened to the guy when in with his local firearms dealer asked for 30 cal 168 gn heads?

I was in a dealership a while back and the guy in front of me asked for some "223 bullet heads" after he'd gone ... I asked if they had some "257 bullets" and he asked if I had any preferences and how long i'd been reloading etc etc.
I asked him why he didn't question/correct the guy asking for 'heads'.
He said that it was a waste of his time, he's tried before and people had argued with him, he also added that he really wouldn't trust anyone who called bullets, 'heads' to properly know what they are doing.
I can imagine that some would say "I saw it on the internet so that's what they're called".
I've yet to hear someone argue that "I saw them called heads on the Stalking Directory and they're experienced and know what they are talking about", but I bet it does happen (dissapointingly).
I guess it's down to if you want to be a forum full of jockular banter, piss taking and missinformation or if you want to be part of a group that educates, informs and encourages new people into the field.

No, no, no, no. It's CORDITE not gunpowder.
Else how can it be smelled by those journalists reporting on how "the heavy acrid smell of cordite hung in the air..."
Good and they will stay in business which is tough these days.
