    The bullet appears to be a 7.62mm (I'd say 150 grain ) bullet that does not have a "full metal jacket", but is only partially jacketed in copper. The dark material visible at the rear is the interior lead of the bullet. Tracer rounds have an orange tip at that caliber (generally)

    Clipping hair and whiskers from pets is based off of the English tradition of clipping a loved ones hair from Victorian times.
    The clippings would oft be used to make a locket, an artistic collage, or some similar small object which one could keep and view on a regular basis as a remembrance.
    My family is Scotch-Irish-English and still carry on the tradition to this day, though typically we don't make anything out of the clippings but rather include them in a remembrance book with photos, letters, and other small personal items of the deceased.
