Sadly, it appears that reticle, reticule, and graticule are synonyms.

Of course, cross-hairs aren’t made of hair any more.

As for “ball ammunition”....

The whole “bullet head” nonsense was the fault of UK dealers back when FAC holders could mail order ammo. Apparently people complained that they had thought they’d ordered fully-assembled cartridges, but only got bullet “heads” rather than the assembled ready-to-fire “bullets” (I.e. cartridges).
