Casing, bullet, powder, primer = cartridge

commonLy used terms:

Brass =casing
Spent brass = a casing that has been fired, will have tell-tale evidence to differentiate from New unfired casing

a cartridge case holds unused ammunition, ie cartridges.
generally speaking Imo terms are incorrectly used interchangeably..but a cartridge case is an unused assembled object and a casing is part of an assembly that is either new or spent, and a case is part of a complete object that holds something such as a briefcase.
Jmho.
