Couldn't determine that from your writing. Only rank amateurs and the news media don't know the difference between bullets and cartridges.
Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread and cement is to concrete, etc. Please learn the language.
I seem to recall Marcella having basic questions about firearms - so I THINK she meant she was an “expert” on searching websites and seeing that everyone is out of ammo and magazines.
Marcella - I THINK that hollow point bullets are typically for handguns. What you want for effective killing of a deer and such is a “soft-nosed” rifle bullet (rather than a “full metal jacket”). There may be other types or terms that are used - but that is what I am familiar with.

Please re-write for me the sentence you think I wrote incorrectly regarding bullet and cartridge. Thanks.
Oh please spare us the, “look how smart i am” game. Of course while you are technically correct, colloquially, people use “rounds”, “bullets”, and “cartridges” interchangably when referring to fixed ammunition.
I’ve heard numerous people say they got a good deal on a few boxes of bullets they had been looking for. The context of the conversation is a hint as to when they are not speaking of reloading components.
And ive never heard anyone say they need to stop and buy a box of cartridges (unless they are wearing a handlebar mustache, holding a Winchester 1873, and are on their way to a cowboy action shooting event)
