Are these Bullets???

Hi,

I've had these for years, they came in a box with a collection of inert small arms ammunition but are they bullets? If so what were they used in? Oh and they're about 2.5cm long x 1cm diametre

Thanks,

Ben.

Could be .38 Semi Wadcutters? Most modern types have a seating groove and a lubrication groove so these may be older "hard cast" types.

They are used in Target shooting as they punch a nice "clean" Hole in the Paper Targets and are cheaper than FMJ.

I used many of these and .44s in my day :-(

They look like .38 special semi wadcutter, possibly coated with teflon for lubrication. Are they heavy (Lead) or light ?

Yup they're pretty heavy :tinysmile_twink_t2:

Usually 158 grain or so.
