The projectile. They are shaped or composed differently for a variety of purposes.
"round-nose" - The end of the bullet is blunted.
- "hollow-point" - There is a hole in the bullet that creates expansion when a target is struck, creating more damage.
"jacketed" - The soft lead is surrounded by another metal, usually copper, that allows the bullet to penetrate a target more easily.
"wadcutter" - The front of the bullet is flattened.
"semi-wadcutter" - Intermediate between round-nose and wadcutter.
