Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Practice Exam

What is the specific term for rifle ammunition?

1. Cartridge

2. Shell

3. Projectile

4. Round

The correct answer is: Cartridge

Rifle ammunition is typically known as a cartridge, which consists of a case, primer, powder, and projectile. While shells may also contain projectiles, they are primarily used for shotgun ammunition. Projectiles refer to the actual bullet or shot, but they are not the complete component of a rifle round. The term round is a more general term that can also refer to ammunition for other types of firearms. Therefore, A is the most specific and accurate answer.
