Hi folks. I'm just approaching reloading here and have a very basic question.

I'm seeing some bullet type/brand abbreviations that aren't making sense on a reputable writer's load-recipe site as follows:

BRP
LBT
NEI
SSK

What do these mean? I'm looking in the midway catalog, but I don't see references to these types/brands of bullets.

I have a feeling I'm missing the boat entirely here, please accept my apology for the dumb question. :)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's SSK:

and here's LBT:

NEI is another mold-maker:

Can't find BRP, though they apparently also make bullets.

I always thought LBT meant lead boat-tail. Never made any sense.
