Got the common sense to ask the experts first, so why not respond with a more friendly and less sarcastic approach. It was obvious I didn’t know the difference, so why the sarcasm and pointless questions? Why not just say, ‘the head is this part mate, please read up on this’.

Enough of this whingeing.
I was not being sarcastic I was trying to get you to think about your use of terminology and perhaps come up with the answer yourself, if anyone has sarcasm issues it is you. putting things like "bullet/head/potato" in your otherwise good posts devalues your position and is undoubtedly sarcastic.
When it was explained to you by me
"The head is the bottom of the case, the bullet is the bullet. Which part of the bullet is the bullet head?
If you are serious about reloading and wish to be a responsible and safe handloader then it is incumbent upon you to learn the correct nomenclature to avoid confusion, mistakes and potentially dangerous situations."
Your response to this was to ask me if I was serious and to say that it was not an issue as you had seen/heard other people using and had never read it anywhere
"Are you serious? Everything I have read has referred to the projectile as the head or bullet head including the RFD’s selling then. I don’t think anyone (barring you) would not know that I was referring to the little bit that comes out of the tube part of the gun and whizzes through the air. I understand the need to be precise with this but come on, that is splitting hits a little isn’t it?
If I called a shop and asked to buy some bullet heads, what do you think they’d send me?
As I say, nothing I have read has referred to the ‘head’ as the cartridge or bottom so you must forgive me for not communicated that way."
So little wonder that I think that your attitude to reloading is dubious as you cannot have been basing your reloading research on any reputable sources and have not read sufficiently widely on the subject. I tried to point this out to you in robust terms to try and get through to you the responsibility required to reload.
You chose to take the hump at this and have been whingeing on about it for the rest of the thread with your sarcasms and slaver.
You need to grow up, let go and move on.
There is no further discussion on this you have your view and I have mine, it is unlikely that you will ever see any merit in my view that reloading needs to be approached in a responsible and adult manner.
