I will kick off a few from the lead heads:

Bullet shapes, Nose and Body
WFN - Wide Flat Nose
LFN - Long Flat Nose
RFN - Round Flat Nose
FN - Flat Nose
WC - Wadcutter
SWC - Semi-Wadcutter
TC - Truncated Cone
RN - Round Nose
SP - Spire Point
TL - Tumble Lube

Bullet Shapes, Base
BB - Bevel Base
PB - Plain Base,  also flat base (fb)
GC - Gas Check

These can and often are combined - WFNGC is a Wide, Flat Nose Gas Check bullet.
