It's the nit picking twits I will not put up with...you know, those that fly against the wind, even against the Firearms Acts just to split hairs and try and look big.
Christel, I know what you are talking about, and so does everyone else.

So anyone who wants to use the correct nomenclature is a "nit-picking twit"
And when we try to educate the media by teaching them the difference between a rifle cartridge and a shotgun cartridge (I heard the press at Cumbria refer to a shotgun using “Bullets”, we are "nit-picking twits".
And when the media refer to our hunting rifles as “Weapons” and we try to explain that they are NOT weapons, we are "nit-picking twits".
And when we start to teach a novice how to reload and teach him/her the correct terminology i.e. “Stand the case full of powder in its head”, we are "nit-picking twits".
Can’t get my head around this, because any other sport has no problem using the correct terminology without any problem, so why is it such a problem to use it here.
The head of the case is the base, hence “Head separation”.
The copper and lead bit at the front is a “Bullet”.
Or am I being "nit-picking twit". :? :? :?

Now in my little world and all...it makes sense that we have a primer, a case and a bullet head.
All of it is called a bullet or cartridge.
So to tell the difference between a complete finished built bullet and the front of it I call it a bullet head.
Isn't that logical?
