Idiot writer means a shell, not a bullet.

But I suspect you knew that.

Not a shell, a cartridge.

Unless it's already been fired.

‘Loaded round’ says it all....shell can mean an empty shell or a loaded shell..

local gun stores around here dont get it either...I go to buy 'bullets' for reloading and they look cockeyed at me...and will say something like...'...you mean the heads,right?'...generally not because they dont know the correct terms but because they realise there are a lot of shooters out there who cant get the jargon straight either....
