Agreed, calling a bullet a "tip" is unforgivable....

Dang, I just finished reading a favorite recipe for .45 Long Colt. (I have my own headstamp that reads BUCK 45 LONG COLT, just to prove there is a headstamp that says .45 Long Colt.) Which I shoot in an New Vaquero. (Where are the old Vaqueros?)
I read Paw-paws reply and did not take it as a chastisement. I guess he came off the wrong way with his post and made it sound like half-a-dozen of one or none of the other. But he was right, most companies do call it Load Data.
In an e-mail to Alliant, I asked if they had a recipe for a bullet I wanted to try. No where in the reply e-mail did the guy use the word recipe. "Load Data" is what he used.
Like the Pop or Soda question (Un-reformed Swamp Yankee here, it will be forever soda in my mind.) some things are not worth quibbling about, where-as others are very important when trying to discuss technical matters. Head, Face, top, where the writing is..., when trying to describe a cartridge could be important.

Alliant has changed their URL - but -at one time their URL for load data had recipe or recipes in it.

Re: boolits...
One day I was in a gun store w/my wife & I was picking up some pistol primers.
My wife mentioned to the sales guy that I, "used to make bullets on the living room cocktail table".
The sales guy thought he'd correct her and said, "Unless he was melting lead and casting bullets, he was loading ammunition".
My wife said, "No, he'd put alcohol in an ashtray, light it, melt some stuff in an old spoon, then pour it into a little thing that looked like a pair of pliers. He said he was making bullets".
