[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2477335, member: 9573"] Don't be afraid - or embarrassed - to ask about any acronym that you run across. It is nearly impossible for anyone to keep up with all of the jargon in the shooting world. Never guess what someone says, especially if your face is going to be anywhere near that chamber! I know that many of us are guilty of throwing out acronyms for things that we type sooo often that it just makes sense to have it in shorthand. I feel we do a disservice to the even moderately accomplished shooter/outdoorsman/reloader when we just assume everyone knows what we are talking about. Don't even get me started on the issues that come out of using "leet speak" like IMHO and IIRC 😜 [/QUOTE]
