Here is a strange one.

[Joe G from Md]

Here are two bullets with 6 point swage marks made to be fired from .58cal. rifled musket, I think one of these was fired out of .54cal. I have been looking through some jars and boxes that have bullets I have found most in seperate containers tagged with area I found them in, I found a few good and odd bullets I will post them a little at a time. does anybody think I could be right about bullets pictured?

Check out M&M page 64 #546 I know that is a cleaner but same principle applies. I have no idea how it would have been loaded.I have not seen any more posts on you finding Confederate buttons, have you been back out?

Hmmm.

That's a good one.

Maybe "Very hard Rammed" in a desperate situation

The nose looks to have a ram-rod mark . Never the less an interesting Bullet...Very interesting.

Field has been planted so we are out until next January, after deer season ends.

If that bullet had been rammed or fired wouldn't the rifling marks run diagonally? What I see are vertical marks.

I found one something like that years ago. My thoughts on it was it was shot out of a breach loader. I'll look for it later today after work. I'm pretty sure I know where it is.

Who knows it might have been found in the same place.
