I found this bullet today out in the middle of a field at my honey hole. Can anyone ID this for me? Thanks!
NO bullet expert, guessing a 58 cal cw era bullet aka minie' ball
Not a Minie ball, no hollow base. What is there is almost impossible to ID for certain. Especially without measurements of how big it is (or rather how big it was before it was flattened.
Thanks for all of the feedback everyone! I'll just have to hit that field some more and see what else turns up.
If there was one fired one, the trick is to go to where it was fired from and look for "drops" that are unfired. Then you have about a 100% chance of ID.
good luck
At a certain point, sometimes how large the mass of lead is, will give an indication. Mushroomed projectiles can be hard to identify.
As others have said, hard to tell, but I could see the argument for that being a Sharps...
