Whatizzit?
« on: December 08, 2012, 01:58:56 PM »
0.4035" x 0.531"

Came in that case of Enfield bullets I got at Richmond.  Patina covers the nose so not flattened recently.

Gonna have to look through some books for this one. It's different looking with the flat nose. Looks like a combination of bullets put together a Tin Base Burnside but to large and solid base. A tall pointier nose and wider ring Churchill in the wrong caliber ???, and who knows what else. Like I said gotta look through some books.

I vote for it being a fired LeMat or fired Deane & Adams missing the pin.

Jim, I think you are on the mark with it being a fired LeMat. I told Mike earlier it had a lot of similar characteristics as LeMats but it didn't cross my mind to have been a fired LeMat.
