Bullets ID help needed.

[rammjäger]

Hello,
I need the help of experts to ID these bullets.
The 3 at the front are 2 ringers,they look Gardners to me .
Two of them are melted by fire ,the third is impacted.
At the background the 2 (no rings) impacted bullets seem to be Enfields.
All of them confederate bullets?
Is that correct?

Hard to tell by the shape their in. The top 2 would be confederate in my guess.

The others look to be world war bullets. You say they have no rings right? the world war ones had no rings.

Most Gardners were use by the C.S.A. ,but enfield were used by both sides during the Civil War.
