There's the bullet... the bullet isn't the entire cartridge; it's just the part of the cartridge known as the projectile. So, the bullet will be the projectile. In the case of FMJ and TMJ cartridges, there will also be a jacket. And if it's a type of projectile with a penetrator core, then there'll be that, as well.

As for parts of the cartridge, if that's what you meant, you have the projectile (already discussed). You'll have the shell casing. You'll have propellant (i.e., gunpowder). You'll have a primer... this may either be packed in the rim (rimfire), or it may be packed into a primer cap which is placed in the center of the hell of the shell casing (centerfire).

The answer has two parts - 1. Why do you want it to spin: It allows the bullet to be more accurate and travel further. The bullet spins for the same reason that football players spin a football when they throw it. 2.
