"Lead Flat-Nosed", I think. What powders do you have, and how hot do you want the loads?

Thanks, The bullets are for my uncle and he is just getting started. His son bought these for him to load. He doesnt have any pistol powder yet

Make sure that he's got at least two good reloading manuals–they are definitely required for anyone who reloads (even if they're just getting started).

LFN means long flat nose. WFN means wide flat nose. They sound like LBT designs; check the Hodgdon and IMR websites.
