Was going through some boxes of my late fathers and found all kinds of brass, much of it new Starline as well as a few boolits and a bullet I couldn't identify. Going left to right.
1. This one was found washed up on GA clay after a hard rain at my parents first home in Austell, GA over 30 years ago. I had spotted it while playing. It weights 395gr and is 0.500-0.519 in diameter and 0.955" in height. It has a crudely cut groove in at the base and appears to be soft lead.
2. This one as well as #3 were in a USPS Tyvek bag in a Baggie of 50 each. Likely sent from a member here years ago before my fathers passing. He was involved with playing with a 32 WS for a few years before his passing among others. It is 175gr and is .325-.326" around. The height is 0.875".
3. 163gr .325-.326" diameter and 0.900" height.
4. 300gr solid appearing 0.458" diameter and 1.065" height. There were 20 or so of these in a grocery bag. I'm guessing perhaps a Barnes Solid or something for the 45/70.
#1 would be interesting to know its history, and what it was shot out of.
#2 and 3 if we could identify the mold and any specifics on them.
Thanks guys!
