    I think the majority of shooters do actually call them 'bullet heads' So many in fact, I've given up trying to 'correct' them.

    If anyone could be bothered to start a poll, that would be interesting.

    Not the one's I seem to know mate.

    It can't be an Army thing, I am struggling to see where it all came from.

    A poll is not a bad idea at all .

    It's not an army thing indeed as they don't reload - generally!

    I know some have got a little exercised over this but after reading all the responses, I'm going to take a much more relaxed view over people calling them heads.

    Who was it said on here that it's intuitive for (bullet) heads to fit into necks which are above the shoulder......

    but what if you load shoulder-less cases, like .357 or 38 special?
    I call them bullet heads as it avoids confusion when speaking to other shooters who dont reload, when buying I usually say 357 heads
