ID HELP Requested
« on: August 14, 2022, 03:49:44 PM »
ID help requested!!!

This was found in a batch of Bull Run/Manassas dug bullets.  It appears to be a Starr carbine .36/.44 caliber pattern.  However, measurements are .555 diameter, .795 length (not counting the base sprue), and weight of 360.

I've never seen a Starr carbine bullet of this pattern.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Burnside was my first impression.

in Tom Stelma's "Bullets 2" book there is a bullet similar to yours identified as a Merrill.  Dimensions close to yours.  page24
