The 1906-1925 issue round with 150 grain flatbase spitzer was known as the "1906" cartridge for some reason. The "M1" round adopted in 1925 or thereabouts had a 173 grain boattail bullet. When they went back to a 150 grain flatbase in time for WW II, that was the "M2". There was also an "M2 AP" round that was used a lot, too.
