But if factory loaded came first, wouldn't the assumption be that a box of shellls was loaded? Meaning, unless you were accustomed to shells coming empty ready for hand loading, why would you need to be told these hulls have powder and shot already? And why don't old boxes of .44-40 etc. say "loaded cartridges"?
I'm new to this board and am not trying to start a fight--i have now reason to believe I'm right. I'm honestly interested and thinking out loud.
