Older Fired Ammunition

[FLtreasure]

I found some fired bullets near the same area I found the antique casings. After a bit of research I noticed the single reeded groove on the larger bullet. The larger round is also surprisingly heavy. The smaller round is roundish with one flat side I'm assuming from being fired.

Thanks!

Your bullet is newer than 1880. The groove with the vertical lines is called a cannelure. They didn't use these vertical lines till after that. That one looks like it smaked something pretty hard. Nice find

Cool thanks for the info! Yeah I wouldn't want that smacking into me!

Larger one looks to be a .38, the smaller one could be a .22, but it's hard to say
