I was digging through a box of reloads and came across a dozen of so each of these 3 different bullets. The first looks like a hollow point, and I'd guess the second two are soft points but I'm not familiar with SPs in .223

First one looks like a closed tip, not HP.

2nd could possibly be steel core soft point.

There is definitely a jagged hole in the top

Far right should be standard ball ammo.

Mid maybe some sort of high velocity round but I've never seen anything like that on .223.

What's stamped on the bottom?

Far light I'm not sure. Not hollow point. Probably jacked up tip.

Hunting, SP will flatten out faster than a FMJ.
