That's awesome!!!! Carved lead really gets my heart pumping. It's the personal connection to history. You have to wonder what was going through thear mind. That's a really nice one. Thanks for sharing.

Well,it turns out that my carved bullet is just a modern shotgun slug.Sorry for any confusion,but it was mixed in with all of this other lead.

Even tho it's a Modern but old slug it still has a Cool design W/the Star & all.
It's got that "Mid-Range" patina going on.
