Look it up in the dictionary, you will not find "head" ever defied as a bullet or projectile. Have you ever bought a box of Hornady, Speer, Sierra, etc, "projectiles" that were labelled as "heads"??? Bet you haven't. Or bought a bullet mold (or mould) labeled as a "head mold"? Again, bet you haven't!

I'll take your word for it. I've heard them called all of the above and have used different terms at different times myself. For some reason I am not a stickler on this one (I usually am a Ball Buster), but I am as adamant as you are when people call a Magazine a Clip. So therefore next time do a write up like this one I will refer back to your post.
