I assume you are asking about the tip of the bullet? That is a soft-point bullet. The core is lead but it is mostly covered with copper. The tip has the bare lead showing. Originally it was shiny, but since it's been sitting around for years it now has a dark patina.

bullets are about 60 years old, so thanks again
Jonathan Miller
yes.
also note the interarms headstamp. interarms bought surplus 303, replaced the projectiles with soft point hunting bullets, restamped the case heads, and sold it. Were there any boxes with the ammo? many of them will be marked "bullet changed in Finland".

its a .305 interarmco rifle caliber meant for crowd dispersal
Isaac Myers
Technically? No. They're Ishapore 2A/2A1 rifles made with new actions dropped into surplus Indian SMLE no1mk3* stocks.

During the 1960s, the British Government and the Ministry of Defence converted a number of Lee–Enfield No. 4 rifles to 7.62×51mm NATO as part of a programme to retain the Lee–Enfield as a reserve weapon. The Lee–Enfield No. 4 series rifles that were converted to 7.62×51mm NATO were re-designated as the L8 series of rifles with the rifles being refitted with 7.62×51mm NATO barrels, new bolt faces and extractor claws, new rear sights and new 10-round 7.62×51mm NATO magazines that were produced by RSAF Enfield to replace the old 10-round .303 British magazines.
