Sounds like English is a second language for whoever owns the site.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Destruction of the English Language. I get the feeling that for 50 years our youth have not been required to learn how to use a dictionary.
Only "Tips" I am aware of are: ULD Bullet Tips such as: http://www.swagedies.com/mm5/merchan...gory_Code=Tips or the plastic versions;
or perhaps - Lead Tip Forming die http://www.corbins.com/lt.htm

Tips ,heads, pills heard bullets being called all these improper terms over the years by the unknowing
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
That place is not that far from me and I can tell you it is not regional.
I've heard it quite a bit from the younger black rifle 'tacticool' crowd...….

To a crowd that calls ammo "bullets" calling bullets "bullet tips" makes sense... to the rest of us, not so much...

Its just another slang term like projos.
"TIPS" is a very well used term for BULLETS, especially around the area of southeastern PA..

"I just need a couple boxes of bullets"
Presumably means cartridges. Slang is slang!

Yes, I’ve heard of bullets being called bullet tips and projos. Learned that wasting time on the AR-15 site.

I was in cannon artillery units my whole time in the Army and that's the only context I ever heard "projo" used, only for 155mm rounds, no one ever used it for small arms.
"Tips" and "heads" drive me crazy. It really is amazing how ignorant some supposed "experts" are when you get away from forums like this one where generally people are pretty knowlegeable.
terms only used by dumbazzes
Some people call them boolits

Maybe they mean the plastic tips on a bullet like a Nosler Ballistic tip? I hear them called heads occasionally in Michigan but I also hear words like "chimley", door wall, and "thish year" occasionally too.
I was a dog on a short chain.
Now there's no chain.
