1861-1865 U.S. Civil War Bullets

Here is a quantity of genuine Federal "drop" from the war between the states. These lead based bullet heads were backed by some gun-powder ( the charge ) and then carefully wrapped in newspaper forming a complete unit.

Bullets with 2 strips are Confederate drop, whereas the 3- strip variety is from the Northern armies. When the battle lines were drawn up, the ammunition supplier would "drop" large quantities of these bullet heads in front of the shooters, so that they could be picked up and rolled as needed. These bullets known as "minies" were made to fit nearly 400 different types of guns and were accurate to about 1,000 feet ( 300 meters ).
