Date these bullets
My dad found these while digging in his garden 40 yrs ago...Rock Island Illinois. I know nothing about them--Feels like they're lead--Looks like copper on the outside? Just curious.

Diameter's would aid ID, FMJ somethings.

my guess is semi auto pistol slugs likely from twenties to forties. looks like .45s .
wasn't there a rock island arsenal? maybe someone plinking at cabbages? |
.45 ACP, more than likely.
Although without some measurement of the diameter, could be .32 ACP or even .25. |

Size relative to the USB terminal, the cannelure grooves, the length looks like military .38 Special FMJ.
|
I'll measure when I get home--thanks guys
|
there's an equal impression on the right side of the one on the left--very symmetrical looking.
|
Let us know what the diameter measures...
if it's .451, it's a .45ACP... if it's .357, it's likely .38 special... |
Another vote for .45 ACP.
The backside of the rounds look exactly like some WW2 rounds I have. |
45 acp ball ammuntion.
|
I passed a couple that looked just like that this morning. Maybe the picture just makes them look bigger.
