[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1827352, member: 3455"] You are right - Hornady does it describing the caliber. Has it been around since the 40s - yes. Does it make it "common" - no. Was the word used in this thread to describe a caliber - no. Was it used to describe an origin - YES. I don't think OP meant it either - it doesn't change the fact what the word means, even if it is "standard and common way" in some circles - I don't belong to those circles nor should gun community be portrayed as such. If a white dude (Robert Downey Jr), in his "black" persona, dressed as vietnamese farmer using a phrase coined in 2008 comedy offends you .... well too freaking bad. Just because you know and like someone - doesn't put you in their shoes. The way [b]you[/b] used "lead farmer" to describe people of Vietnam in a derogatory way is a RACIAL SLUR - this is too embarrassing as it went from bad to ugly. And if I really want to read into what you are typing there - what exactly do you mean "by one of [b]your[/b] lead farmers": I'm of Russian descent, Russians were supporting Viet Cong during the war - so somehow I am PERSONALLY responsible for your friend's tragedy? I'm going to go ahead and take offense to that. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
