Both of the side by side bullets are drops that's why I've ask for help to see if anyone has ever seen one like this usually rifling on bullets are wider and has a slight curve around the bullet I am 56 and have been around guns and bullet but not like that! Humm?

One appears to be a melted bullet, thrown in a fire, I don't know about the other one. Great finds

I'm no authority on civil war arms but know of no straight line rifling in any barrels of rifles.
It could have been rolled to add more bearing surface for a lube...
I don't see where the hollow based bullet or the solid one were upset at their bases by being fired.
