Unlisted Shiloh area carbine bullets
« on: December 10, 2012, 11:28:19 AM »
These two bullets were found by members of the same hunting group near Shiloh recently. The one on the left measures .519 X .835. The one on the right .525 X .858. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The one on the left is definately a Maynard TT#79.

The other looks like it could be a Smith by Johnston & Dow...I'll have to look up those in RB2.

Sorry, the specimen on the right was for a Starr carbine by J&D.  See RB2, pages 256-257.  See also the attached pic which I happened to have from our bullets for sale on our website.
