Type of bullet which expands on impact?
Hollow points. And "soft points." Ammo boxes are often marked with abbreviations for those terms, like "JHP" means "jacketed hollow point" or "PSP" might mean "pointed soft-point." Most expanding handgun bullets used for self-defense or law enforcement purposes are hollowpoints. Most rifle bullets made for hunting big game are soft-points. Some hollow-point rifle bullets are actually made for the best possible long-range accuracy and expanding is not really a factor. And many rifle bullets made for small varmints or predators are hollow-pointed too.

What 30-30 rifles can use hornady flex tip ammunition?
They are designed for use in the tubular magazines (lever guns especially), but there is no reason you couldn't use them in any 30-30 even if they were box magazine fed, or even hand-load them for a .308, 30-06, etc. The purpose of the flex-tip is to keep them from firing the primer ahead of them in a tube.
What is the name of the study of bullets and how they are fired?
There is no such thing as the "study of bullets", except, perhaps, as a historian. However, one may study the effectsof bullets using "ballistics", and a person who does so for a living would be called a "ballistics expert"; someone who is trained to do such at a crime scene or laboratory may also be called a "forensics specialist", but the word "forensics" has nothing to do with bullets.

How fast does a sniper rifle shoot a bullet?
It depends on the rifle. The .300 Winchester Magnum has a muzzle velocity in excess of 3000 feet per second (914 meters/sec). The .338 Lapua Magnum runs about 823 m/s (2,700 ft/s). The .50 Browning is in the same general range. All are handloaded for sniper use, so details may vary with the bullet weight and adjustments made for the particular rifle and scope.
