I assume you are referring to the trailing letters you often see after a cartridge designation, such as .45 FMJ. This is an abbreviation indicating the bullet style, in this case Full Metal Jacket, where it has thin brass (typically) jacket around the lead bullet.

There are many, many such designations, but most you will seldom see in normal commercial settings. Common suffixes you may see are:

FMJ - Full Metal Jacket

FP - Flat Point

HP - Hollow Point

JFP - Jacketed Flat Point

JHP - Jacketed Hollow Point

LFP - Lead Round Point

LRN - Lead Round Nose

SWC - Semi-Wad Cutter

TMJ - Total Metal Jacket

WC - Wad Cutter
