22 cal Civil War Rim-fire bullett

[Davers]

Has anyone ever seen of found a 22 cal rim-fire bullet or maybe even the case of one?
( That's was from the Civil War Period) of course..

I have heard there was & one of my reference books shows an example ( if I recall correctly) but It pictures it in it's Case.

I've dug a couple suspicious examples "Bullets" and have saved the "Short Rim-fire Cases"
that I have dug , from the area I found the bullets. [ most are post CW IMO] but I keep them JIC.

Any info or esp pictures will help
Thanks
Davers Sorry for the spelling error in the title ..D

Interesting. I found this one in Culpeper VA last week at a DIV. Colt bullet for size ref.

Now those are nice & the smaller is def, interesting (tho it looks a bit different than the ones I have found) No Reed's right, I do think you would know to look for that , but had to ask , could your bullet be from a 'pin-fire' ? in say .25 caliber .

What is it's measurements if you don't mind?

Again nice finds.
