picket vs slug rifle

[bruce moulds]

gaven and mike,
thank you for that.
it looks like a transitional thing between round ball and a slug rifle type bullet.
they would obviously be harder to get to shoot due to bullet alignment issues, and the thick patching material.
looking at picket rifle bullets with no knowledge, you could be forgiven for thinking they were greasers with a big groove.
keep safe,
bruce.
