Oh what an interesting find.
Just makes me wonder.


That's a 328 grain bullet for a 12b rifle over 4-5/8 Drams of powder.
Hot charge and light bullet.

12b pure lead roundball will weigh 583 grains (~1-1/4oz), and with bullet instead of roundball in the Victorian rifles, I've only seen heavier than roundball not lighter than roundball bullet weights.

How long are those cartridges?
Please will you describe the nature of the source of these cartridges?

Sure!.

COL 60.oo mm (unfolded)
Rimdia 21.oo mm
Dia neck 20.50mm
basedia 20.50mm
Pinprimer length. 10.75mm

I found these cartridges at a guncollector. I traded one of my new Manton & Co 10 bore for this package...

I haven`t seen such cartridges either before...only on forums maybe..hahaha
I could tempted to cut one open, but I guess these leadbullets are really hollowbased.
