I found these bullets at a civil war site, I put a sharps carbine bullet (found at the same site) in the picture for reference. The bullets on the left and right are the bullets in question... Any help is appreciated!

No, both bullets are dropped, both have the same "bulb nose" I thought they were sharps bullets that had been hit with a hammer, but the rings don't match up

the one on the right looks like it might be some kind of unlisted C.S. slug.very interesting and probably quite rare.i think I have seen something similar somewhere but not sure.the one on the left looks like maybe some kind of sharps variant.Just a guess.nice finds
