    Just looks like a normal cast lead bullet? Not black powder, use calipers to determine caliber...

    as a random cast with unknown content of lead ratio, not worth much...
    TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    William Butler Yeats 1865-1939

        Where do you live? What ever they are they still need to be sized and lubed.

          Not worth much but it's a type of maxi I think.

            They are worth their weight in scrap lead but, not much more.

              I'm betting that they are .359-.361 and still need to be sized to .358, lubed and loader into .38 special brass. They are not Maxi balls of any kind.

                It's a semi-wadcutter. But yeah I shoot black powder so I thought I recognized it from the old days .
