Just a logical offering but think on this.
many eons ago when people were loading from powder horns and bullet pouches, there was a singular item not connected to anything else called a bullet.
Fix it to the top of a combi of cartridge with, as has been noted, shoulders and a neck....head is a logical name for it.
you can see why people call it a head, or a bullet, bullet head is perhaps for those that call rounds or cartridges bullets...and lets face it many of us do.
So what the does it matter?

Yes, it's SO logical that, bearing in mind centrefire cartridges as we know them were perfected about 145 years ago, the term "bullet head" only seems to have appeared in the last decade or so. If it was logical, surely people would have started using the term almost immediately.
Bullet head is just plain wrong. I know what it means, but that doesn't make it right.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
Well Randy my dear, in Johns world I just ask for a box of HEADS and the fellow behind the counter knows what I is asking for,init

Move forward go to the shop and buy your self some HEADS you will feel better for . John F.
Er, it's not wrong, at least not in the real world. In fact, it is less ambiguous than simply 'bullet' - which we've established can mean different things to different people. Big retailers use the term 'bullet head' as it is less confusing, so how can it be 'wrong'?
To call the 'bottom' of a rifle cartridge case the 'head' is just plain silly- on the opposite end of the case from the neck, shoulder and mouth for rifle cartridges....
We should change the term 'head' space to 'foot' space, now that would be an advance......
