When you stand a cartridge on the flat part so the pointy part is pointing up, you've placed it on its head, correct? Where the head stamp is, right? So why is the measurement from the flat part to the point where the bullet starts to narrow towards the tip called the Cartridge Base To Ogive (CBTO) instead of the Cartridge Head To Ogive (CHTO)?
Just a newbie with too much time on his hands and a penchant for weird quirks of terminology wondering how the acronym came to be.
