According to catnipman: Accepted by whom? The ignorant media? Ignorant people? Because it is NOT accepted by knowledgeable people.
According to the online NRA Glossary: BULLET: The projectile expelled from a gun. It is not synonymous with cartridge. Bullets can be of many materials, shapes, weights and constructions such as solid lead, lead with a jacket of harder metal, round-nosed, flat-nosed, hollow-pointed, etc.
According to Buffalo Head: catnipman knows of what he writes. TexasGater does not. Case closed.
According to past practice: TexasGater seems to be one of those folks who has to get in the last word. After finding himself in a hole, he keeps digging. Stand by for his last word. This is mine.
“NRA uses the term bullet when referring to cartridges.”
Really? Where? Certainly not in their glossary:
“BULLET
The projectile expelled from a gun. It is not synonymous with cartridge. Bullets can be of many materials, shapes, weights and constructions such as solid lead, lead with a jacket of harder metal, round-nosed, flat-nosed, hollow-pointed, etc.
