Explain to me how bullets have become "projectiles"

[Chinbullco]

We send bullets everyday by CP and have explained difference and and they are good to go with bullets but not ammo. Again, using and understating correct terminology is essential to conducting business, including policies, contract and criminal law.

Your area postal employees are smarter than mine. Have to go out of town to mail bullets.

Regardless of how shotshells were commonly sold in the past, the current standard is the flat. It quite likely is the result of the new generations complaining that a full case is too heavy, but regardless, the flat has become the standard these days.

There's no doubt its the standard, and probably has as much to do with workmens comp, or work place weight limits as anything.

All I'm pointing out is that some people will launch a tirade if someone calls a flat a case. It isn't that they are all concerned that someone is going to get confused since their "case" is practical terms doesn't exist. They just want to tell people that they are wrong, and can't miss an opportunity to be a prick.

I like the word missile better than projo. I shall demand "missiles, sans Layton", next time I am in Lever Arms. They always enjoy a good french pun in there.
