Obviously, the flattened one is tough

Is there a pdf? chart to help determine the type? etc
Someone suggested the round ball is from a pistol

Very Very Nice,I’ve never found them but looks like CW bullets
 

The one on the left might be a confederate gardner. Do you have a set of calipers you can measure the diameter of the bullets?
 

Yes, I just measured them

All are .58 in diameter (of course not possible on the smashed one)
The large one is around 1.15 long
The others are close to 1 inch
The ball is around .45

They are all hollow (with the exception of the ball), with no markings inside I can determine

These were found in South Carolina
 

Ok, I think they have been identified.
For those interested.
The 2 in the picture that appear very similar are 58 caliber Civil War Mini Balls, the middle one is a Williams regulation Mini Ball
The other is a Confederate CS Gardner Mini Ball
Finally the small round ball is a 44 caliber Colt Pistol round ball.

Thanks to those on and off the forum that helped ID these!
