Confederate Bullet....a nice one!!!!

[Jpro]

Dug this nice dropped Selma Arsenal lubed groove today. Thank You Army of Tennessee.
It's a .577/58 cal.
It has a deep plug cavity. Also for you bullet guys, notice the low profile of the 3 rings but its
an Enfield design. It's #350 in M&M.
It's uniquely Confederate as this bullet was only manufactured in the Arsenal of Selma, 1864.
Was my only bullet of the day, I'll take it.

Very nice, A Confederate bullet is always a good day. I have dug hundreds of union bullets but only a handful of southern bullets. Very cool!
