[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1459246, member: 7999"] When I tell people that I am a bullet maker they almost always think we make ammo. I have to tell them that we make the bullet that goes into ammo. Often this is not enough and I have to explain that the bullet is the projectile that exits the barrel when the ammo is fired. The term "bullet" to most means "ammunition". When it comes to caliber vs cartridge, I think it generally gets sorted out pretty well. Once in a while there is confusion. Often I talk to people who do not know that there are many 30cal chamberings that all can shoot the same bullet but can not shoot the same ammo. That turns into rocket science for some. :D I see lots of posts here asking for help picking a caliber for their new rifle. Generally I think they know what they are asking, but every now and then I wonder. For the most part not too big a deal to me. Much bigger things to worry about. Steve [/QUOTE]
