John, I have along standing disagreement with the C.W. Bullet Collecting Assoc. about these bullets, they call them Bull Bullets, bulls and cows pick them up when they are eating grass chew them up with the grass then pass them out the other end. It might happen sometimes, but I hunt a hospital site just off Shiloh and find them there, I found one right next to a chaplins pin at about 8 inches, and I say it was chewed by a wounded soldier, I have found many others the had only the tips or bases chewed, and Chuck Haislip founder of the Bullet Assoc. did admit that his' old medicial books suggessted chewing on a leather belt instead of a bullet as it was easier on the teeth. So John Wayne wasn't the first to say "Bite the Bullet." Col. Gene
