The bullet or head debate goes on.

[Bavarianbrit]

Bullet, a word derived from the French boulette, meaning "small ball. And that's what early bullets were -- small lead balls fired from smoothbore weapons.
Every day is a school day eh?

I find it difficult to get my head around these foreign words....

Head from the French diriger - sounds like derision (as it should).

 

[Alantoo]

Projectile Vomit (comes from the head)

There is no debate. 'Bullet' is the correct term. 'Head' is not. People have been informed as to the correct terminology, it's entirely up to them if they wish to remain wilfully ignorant

 

[Phil fox man]

see my post on the subject! pill recipe or head

 

[John Gryphon]

I bought a box of 25-06 bullets recently.

 

[saddler]

Not TOO difficult to find out the ACTUAL name of the projectile thing sitting on the front of the cartridge....
Sadly, the proof of the pudding that ANYONE can become an RFD, with zero knowledge, is also out there - esp. given the commonplace use of the wrong term by one importer

That side of the argument buy from a very small factory...

Cars have brakes... handbrake & foot brake.
Loads of people refer to case head or bullet head & dont find it aggravating for any reason. Most sellers/sites list bullet heads the same way.
You dont see people jumping on me for calling it a car & not a Class IV petroleum automotive as their correctly known. They just buy a car like the rest of us

In Swedish they are kula the same word used to describe testicles. So it all sounds like a lot of bollocks to me.

I actually checked that and it is true.

Got to love the Swedish.

Why not use projectile? That not only make's sense but is also impossible to confuse with body parts.

Gift, is the Swedish word for poison and being married. Now that makes sense to me.

I missed the headin.

It warned, in a list of headpoints, about being sure to don my head-proof vest to protect myself from stray heads.

 

[Klenchblaize]

What term does one’s delightful FEO use?

K
