For a cartridge to be any use it should have both so hardly a simple question. Would you like to rephrase the question?

Bullets if the person you're addressing to knows what they're talking about, heads/the end bit/the thing that comes out the barrel if they don't lol

Projectiles?

Seeing as head-spacing has nothing to do with the projectile I'd say they're bullets, otherwise you're mixing terminology

Surely it's only a projectile when it's fired? The case is technically a projectile, so it the rifle it's self. So before it's a projectile, it's a bullet.
