Tennessee Rifle Bullet Carved Except for the scratch shownFor your consideration one Thomas handbook 144c also see Thomas RoundBall to RimFire #4 163 Tennessee rifle bullet. You will find this bullet to be in very good to excellent dug condition. The patina is a real nice, thick white color. The patina has that slick waxy feelin to it. The cavity is a lovell paraboloidal type, not a cone as listed. The nose cast sprue has been cleanly removed exposing a small casting void (air bubble) in the nose. Measures
