Old bullets (Possibly Confederate?)

Hi everyone! I found these old bullets in the creek behind my house several years ago. It was in rural Chester SC which was heavy on the civil war activity. I cant find much about them or any photos that look similar. I would love any information anyone has! Thanks!

 

I can't find any that match yours...

or any vintage semi - wadcutters .......

more research is needed../.

 

Thanks anyway. Yeah I've looked through so many charts and cant figure it out.

 

Maybe @springfld.arsenal knows about old handmade bullets?

 

Most likely a more modern "Wadcutter" type bullet.

 

Oh Stephy.....r ur's maybe hollow points like Rayo shows......

can u pull some debris out of a cone in the top ????

 

Not civil war. I think they're modern blackpowder balls.

 

they don't look round to my eye ....

 

They look more like the hollow points shown, and I was having trouble coming up with that name!!! Meant to go in and fragment or spread....cause more damage!!

 

so many techniques to make a bullet more damaging. we were taught in the army that it is strictly forbidden to cut off the tip and saw in a Swiss Cross... still wonder why they told us this at all...

 

I think Frangible may be the the word you want.

 

Don't have to be round . Blackpowder terminology for lead projectiles, depending on size, without actual measuring and weighing, look like .50 caliber to me.

 

seems indeed that they don't....at least not now..
