Cross Sections Of WW-II Bullets

I used my imagination to create and shoot many types of bullets, jacketed, semi jacketed wad cutter, sometimes from the metal of a coin or cap 22, but some types of ammunition like these had ever seen.
interesting and intimidating bullets, out of my imagination and reloaders handbooks.
 
Gen. George Washington Ordered his troops to load "Buck And Ball.The Paper Cartridges were rolled up with a 69 ca. lead ball,and three Buck shot..black powder..These were ramrodded down the Flint lock Musket.Each solider made a number of them and put them in his Cartridge Box.The Effects of Mass Firing against Troops in line was devastating....I shoot flint locks and Cap locks... I have made these Cartridges..Ya have to bite the tip off..Resulting in a black face...The smoke made was sulfuric..and burned yer eyes...Many solders Firing at once, left a cloud of smoke that no one can see thru...War always Hell..anything that gets into you will and can kill ya...So Keep Yer Powder dry,no Flash in yer pan, When all fails?? The Bayonet and Yer Hawk,finished the job!
