Question Trying to identify a bullet

I have in my possession two bullets I cannot identify and need some assistance. I can't post pictures here so if anyone is willing to help I'd be glad to email you a picture. The bullet appears to be military and probably eastern block. The markings are few and illegible. Length of entire bullet is: 3". Necks down after 1.5" to an approximately .30 caliber projectile. Any help or suggestions appreciated!

P.S.-I'm asking here because it's the only forum I use and the knowledge here seems to cover many areas.

I don't really have any idea, but pics and more details will help. Pics will give all the details much better than typing.

Accurate measurements on the bullet and lengths would also help I would imagine.

Please note that "bullet" and "cartridge" are not the same thing. Sounds like you're trying to identify a cartridge.
