I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but the parts of a cartridge are: case, primer, powder charge, bullet. "Bullet" is very commonly used to refer to the cartridge, but by true definition, the bullet is only the piece of lead or whatever material it happens to be made from.
A round is a cartridge made up of the case, primer, powder and bullet. The bullet is the projectile that leaves the gun. There is only one bullet in a round.

A metal cartridge case is formed into shape by machinery. In centerfire ammo, a primer is press fitted into the primer pocket. A measured charge of gunpowder is poured into the cartridge case, and a bullet pressed into the mouth of the cartridge case, which MAY be crimped to hold the bullet in place.
The proper term is CARTRIDGE- bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the barrel.

Actually, the proper name is "cartridge." The term bullet is an extremly common but incorrect usage when referring to a cartridge. The term bullet only refers to the piece of lead that comes out of the barrel when the gun is fired. The bullet is one component of the cartridge.

A "round" of ammunition refers to one complete shot- properly called a cartridge- which usually consists of a cartridge case, a primer, powder, and a bullet. The bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired out of the barrel. Some people (in error) call cartridges bullets. A bullet is PART of a cartridge- or round. Make sense?
