This thursday I was at the Charleston Museum in Charleston S.C.
There they had a display of paper patched bullets which showed the bottom , sides and top of the patched bullets. They were patched with a very thin looking paper rolled clockwise looking at them from the bottom. They looked like 45 cal. probably 400 gr. with hollow base with the patch tucked into the base. The display said they were 1860's bullets bought as military surplus. Could this be or has someone made a mistake. This was not the paper cartrige for sharps, they were just plain paper patched just like the ones I shoot in my 45/70. They were plain bullets with no grease grooves. The one thing I did notice was that the lead was very shiny like they were poured yesterday. I took a picture of them but couldn't use flash so they probably want come out very good.
