bullet?

<><><>

Well, a bullet is PART of a round of ammunition. It is actually one CARTRIDGE. A catridge consists of the cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet. The bullet is the part that is fired out of the barrel.

For some purists, the term "round" refers to a shot or a bullet after it is shot. For most other people a "round" refers to one cartridge of ammunition.

Think of it this way: The ammunition manufacturer loads a bullet into a case to make a cartridge. The shooter loads the cartridge into the firearm and pulls the trigger, firing a shot or a round AKA sending a round downrange. The bullet then hits the target.
