Welcome to the forum! Looks to me like Hornandy, Full Metal Jacket Flat Point and Lead Round Nose. Good luck with your loading.

Some others you will run into:
Nos Nosler
Spr Speer
Sra Sierra
HP Hollow point
RN Round nose
L Lead
J Jacketed
FMJ Full Metal Jacket (has lead exposed at the base)
TMJ Total Metal Jacket (has no lead exposed anywhere)
TC Truncated Cone
WC Wad Cutter
SWC Semi-Wad Cutter

As you can see from your LRN example, they can be combined.

Hi and welcome to a wonderful place for advice. You're ahead of some in that you already have experience under your belt.
I'm sure you already know all 209's aren't alike, and the same holds true for rifle and pistol primers.
That said, you'll also find that when reloading metallic cartridges there are no annoying BBs to gum up the works Big Grin
