Bullets / Re: Trans-Mississippi Bullets
« Last post by aggiereb on June 28, 2023, 06:24:17 PM »The best overview of the Musketoon bullets in in Tom Stelma's Some Civil War Bullets 2.
The Sterling Price bullet has been determined to probably be a Tennessee Rifle bullet. See RBTR 4, bullet 230. I think that's it.
The Baby Hawg, Mangeot, Cosmopolitan II, and other scarce/rare Trans-MS bullets are not generally addressed. For the longest time many Eastern collectors didn't recognize the Trans-MS artifacts. Only recently has that begun to change.
There are a few magazine articles that address the Trans-MS bullets, written by Meigs Brainerd in North - South Trader. He's a member of this Forum and can hopefully set you straight. He's identified even more strange Trans-MS bullets than those you're aware of!!
