Flobert

[fyrffytr1]

Here is a pretty hard to find bullet in my humble opinion. It came out of the same hole as the 69 caliber at a camp in Hagerstown, Md. It is a 22 cal Flobert. It'sa whopping .211"D, .221"L and weighs 17 grains. And, this was one of my finds, not a gift from Joe.

That's a nice bullet, where at in town did you get it? Never heard of Flobert before, I have some small .20, to . 30 cal bullets that I am not sure what they are. Where did you get info?

As with many of the the bullets I have found, well not many but a few I posted them here in the What is it forum where they were identified by many knowledgeable people. I was hunting with Scotty along side the road around South High best I remember.

The Flobert round did not have any powder in it, just the primer, casing and bullet. I think they were called parlor guns and made to be shot indoors.
