Unusual Bullets from Shiloh

(1/2) > >>

ColtsPop:
All of these examples measure in the 30 caliber range, except the one on the right which is .44.  Could anyone identify what they may be?  I believe the middle one may be a Pepperbox, based on a similar example on Nick?s site.  Any thoughts appreciated.  All are from the vicinity of Shiloh (Counce, TN)

aggiereb:
My first impression is that they are post-war.

ColtsPop:
Aggiereb,
I agree.  But, I know there are some types I have never seen.  These don?t have the characteristics of modern muzzle loading weapons, but could be post war civilian.

emike123:
The one on the left looks like a .45-70 round and the other two are probably shotgun slugs for hunting.  In any event, post war.

ColtsPop:
Thanks Mike!
