Not sure the proper way to measure. Found in the woods. Old or not? And how do I determine age? Both hit at around 55 on AT Pro. Sorry I don’t have a scale to measure weight.

Yeah, they both look like practice arrow tips to me
Thank you. My husband came home soon as I was posting this and he suggested practice tips. Ah well, was hoping for something better.
Not practice arrow tips!Modern cast rifle bullets,7.62mm or 30 caliber.Top one has the notch in the base for a gas check,bottom one is what is sometimes called a bore rider.Note the rifling marks on the bottom one especially,the lengthwise striations.I,d guess the top one is a Lyman and the bottom a Lyman or Hensley and Gibbs,maybe a Ohaus.Look up bullet molds and you can browse through the makers charts for a match!Bottom one you can see the sprue where it was cut.
Thank you very much!
