If folk seriously think that they might "Mistake" a bullet for a case head as regards the reloading process then either "folk" or the "Miscreant" probably should not be out and about without a carer, let alone messing with hand loading.

THIS was one reason given, but generally it is just pedantics with bugger all better to do than find something that offends them
So very true mate!!

I use head now just to wind the pedants up!

Most of the major shops now use the term, in 20 years it will be proper terminology . . . .
