The bullet is the lead, or copper coated lead, slug that leaves the barrel and (sometimes) hits the target.
The cartridge is the casing (usually brass) which holds the powder, and the bullet, assembled together into one complete round of ammunition.
Cartridge goes into chamber of firearm, is detonated by the firing pin, and the powder burns very fast, sending the bullet out of the barrel.
PLEASE be careful with firearms and use them responsibly.
