Finally got to find a CW Bullet in Oklahoma 😁

[Digger RJ]

Went to a property of a Friends and was allowed to hunt for a CW Bullet. Anything else stays with the property. Great to get out and not only hunt for one , but find one too😁 It’s been an Awesome Week for Me!! Now it’s time to get back to the grind. Thanks for looking &

Happy Hunting!!!!

What’s the story on the property you hunted? A civil war era camp? Union or confederate?

What are the dimensions of your conical bullet? It favors a Merrill carbine.

Possibly a 58 cal cleaning bullet

Pic isn’t the best, but doesn’t remind me of a cleaner. Maybe it’s just my eyes in combo with the pic.

 

[Dutchman266]

Yes I'm sure I'm wrong. Sorry

It was a stop and camp for Union troops in route between two major Cities during the CW. There was a store, tavern and a few houses directly near it from the same era as well. There was also a recorded skirmish that happened at the site . Very interesting 😁

Nice! Those are hard to find in Oklahoma, so far I have only found round balls.

That's what I thought also

The Williams Cleaner Bullets don’t appear to come to a point like this one.

Here it is in between a .58cal on the left and a .69cal on the right. The solid base with the small center hole is Whats throwing Me?
