9 hour hunt produced lots of CW bullets

[cwdigger]

Me and the brother in law went out to a new spot that we have found and from what I can see has never been hit very hard or either they didnt do a very good job, within the past 2-3 weeks between myself,brother in law, dragon6banger and a friend we have pulled alot of bullets, including bobby's bullets in wood that was awsome!!

Well me and Jason went out for 9 hours and hit one spot maybe in a 70 yard radius and pulled 82 bullets between the 2 of us, in which 2 are what I believe to be whitworth bullets they have that octagon shape to them

We had a great day and plan on going back and hitting this spot probably the rest of the summer, I know that there is a buckle or two among other things in the woods......

Re: 9 hour hunt produced lots of bullets

That looks like a hot spot to me.Congrats on a lot of super CW lead.
What are the length of the bullets.The Whitworth Hexagonal Short pattern was
1.309 long and the regular hexagonal was 1.457 the weight was 519 gr. and 511 gr.
Hope they turn out to be Whitworths because they bring decent $$ even if they are fired.

[RiverRat3]

Great finds, I am sure there is a buckle somewhere in that region.

 

[cwdigger]

Go get those buckles Bud!

Appreciate it buddy, they say that there are rifles,swords and buckles in these woods. The woods have never been hunted because the people down here are scared of the bears,snakes, and ticks. I believe I can deal with them
