First one is a 155 gr. cast target bullet. Second is a 230 gr. full metal jacket bullet. Some guys shoot the light weight 155 gr bullet in competition where they shoot to knock over steel plates and need a little extra velocity. I don't think you can buy a loaded round with that 155 gr. bullet and it is usually or most likely from someone's handloads. I use to shoot them quite a bit. The full metal jacket bullet is what they use d in the military and you can still get them by the thousands either surplus or present commercial manufacturing. Monty
