Help identifying bullets

[ringoi]

Hello, I'm a newbie here and was wondering if you could send some light on the bullets I have recently acquired. I have 12 of one style and 1 small round bullet. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Your bullets' 3 body grooves are extremely wide-spaced, and have a short nose with a small flat tip. That means they are definitely modern (second half of the 20th Century to today) Lyman Mold "Minie-bullets" made for use by Blackpowder rifle target shooters and hunters. I recognize them because I still own some from my years long ago as a Blackpowder shooter. Go to the following link and scroll almost all the way down the webpage, to bullet #575213. (The first three numbers are the bullet's diameter.)

The lead ball, which is somewhat smaller than the bullets in your photo, is probably also a modern-era one, made for use in (reproduction) Blackpowder .44 caliber revolvers. Put a caliper on it, to see if its diameter is approximately .460-inch and if that is the result, it is a repro .44 pistol ball.
