More Civil War Bullets

[CMartis]

Can anyone help me identify these civil war bullets?

This one measures around .57in wide and 1.02in tall. Shallow cone base.



This one measures around .43in wide and .82in tall. It looks like the base of this one was flat or close to it.

@ed pic, Possibly a Spencer

Good Stuff!

The first bullet, which has a conical base-cavity and no body-rings, is a Confederate-made .577-caliber Enfield "Minie-Ball." The British-made version of it (which was imported and used in large quantities by both sides in the civil war) always had a "plug-shaped" (flat-bottomed) cavity in its base.

The second bullet is one of the many-many varieties of .44-caliber bullets. Some were rifle bullets and some were for pistols. To give you its correct ID, we need several more side-view and base-view photos of it.

Nice finds, looking forward to getting out once the ground thaws.
