Why are military rifle cartridges steel jacketed?
I stand corrected on the term, "cartridge", instead of the intended word, "bullet", in my query. I must disagree with the premise that the steel jacketed "bullet" fragments; quite the contrary, it will NOT fragment upon striking the body of a person. That is the reason for my question, "WHY".
I would like to know how long it would take to become a sniper in either the Army or Marines. If you answer, please have some sort of Military Rifle Training! I’m joining a branch soon, and I’m not sure which one I would like to join!

Old fully stocked military rifle.Looks to be about 6.5 mm (guesstimate) bore. Flip up backsite to 2K meters, fixed front sight.Box magazine with straight bolt handle.Marked "CARL GUSTAFS STADS GEVARSFAKTORI 1915. Ser.# 355680. Sling swivels and cleaning rod.Barrel length is approx. 29".Action looks similar to Mausers I have seen before. Also has crown markings and an idealized letter symbol I can’t make out too good. Please help if you are knowledgable on old (WWI-era) military rifles.I’m guessing it’s Austro-Hungarian.
