Bullet Heads.........arrrgh!

[Turnup]

Was browsing in the NRA range office at Bisley yesterday and saw some boxes on PPU bullets. Upon closer examination I could see that they were Henry Krank's and the professional packaging proclaimed the contents to be (various calibres of ) "PPU Bullet Heads". I was suspicious of this, thinking that they might be forgeries.

A little interweb searching shows:

The PPU website simply (and correctly) describes them as "Bullets"

The Kranks website makes extensive reference to Bullet Heads.

.......so this would seem to be something originating within Kranks themselves.

Disappointing.

Shameful to hear that a retailer of ammunition components is using incorrect terminology.
A round is comprised of 1 x cartridge case, 1 x primer, 1 x bullet and is filled with a quantity of propellant.
It really is that simple; enough said.

I pinged them a message via the "Contact Us" page on their website - will post their response (if I get one).

I imagine they'll be horrifed, and will undertake immediately to change both their website and the packaging of the bullets.

Let alone the massive recall

I wouldn't wait up for any kind of response. I never got one last year...

Now you all know why they are called Kranks.

There was a similar thread last year where the OP refused to buy from a certain vendor as they referred to bullets as "bullet heads".
My wife calls it hoovering, I call it vacuuming, I still let her do it.

I've said this in the past, so here here.

Agree with above....life too short so just ignore and carry on

I'll just buy up their reduced priced stock due to old packaging😉
