Bound's hubby here:
The terms "cartridge" and "round" are interchangeable. Both refer to a complete shell. A cartridge/round's components are:
cartridge case (brass),
bullet (the projectile),
powder (the propellant), and
primer (the ignition source).

A round of ammunition IS a (loaded) cartridge.
The cartridge CASE into which the bullet is seated is sometimes incompletely refered to as a cartrige, but properly a cartridge is a complete loaded round, whether it be a rimfire, centerfire, or shotshell. The BULLET is the metallic projectile - not the entire round. Again, loaded cartridges are sometimes erronously refered to as bullets.

It's hard to put into words. Round just means something you can shoot. Cartridge is what contains the bullet.

I'm not 100% on this but i believe that a cartridge is the brass casing that houses the actual bullet. a round would be the entire thing, bullet & casing together.

a round is a whole bullet
a cartridge is what is left over after a round has been fired

Nothing. Round is slang.
