Bullets come in a variety of shapes, constructions, and materials depending on their intended application. They can be categorized based on their manufacturing process or shape. In terms of manufacturing, bullets include unjacketted bullets made of hardened lead, jacketed bullets with a metallic jacket enclosing a lead core, wire-patched bullets with a copper wire envelope, and paper-patched bullets formerly made with paper jackets. They also include armor-piercing, tracer, and incendiary bullets. Bullets are further distinguished by their shape, such as hollow-point, sharp nose, round nose, boat-tailed, and split-nose bullets. The type of bullet chosen depends on the gun used and its intended range.

British adopted riffle 0.303 in 1888. Basically, it's a ball
cartridge known as dum-dum mark 2 special.

7. (ON THE BASIS OF SHAPE)
1.Hollow-point bullet:- This type of bullet is provided with a
cavity in the nose.
The disabling capability of the bullet gets enhanced through
expansion after impact & penetration.

8. 2. Sharp nose bullet:-The tip of this type of bullets are
highly pointed.
3. Round nose bullet :-

9. 4.Aluminium tipped bullet:- The jacket of this type of bullets
has aluminium tip towards the nose end. This improves it's
accuracy in flight.
5.Boat-tailed bullet:- In an
efforts to provide stability
In flight, the base of bullet
narrowed down.

10. 6.Stream-lined bullet:- This was an improvement over the
boat tailed bullet & both the tip & the base had fine pencil
points.
7. Split-nose bullet:- The jacket of this type of bullet is cross
cut at the nose-end to enable the bullets to have four sharp
& pointed leaves set at right angle like the blades of an
