[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2047553, member: 14195"] My wife bought me a metal detector for Christmas. I went out to the 80 today to look for the .45-70 bullet that I killed this years deer with. Didn't find it, but I did find this: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1253.photobucket.com_albums_hh586_tmcdan6_IMG_1125_zpsc744c4b5.jpg[/IMG] It weighs 134.5 grains, and is .375-.380 across the base, depending on which way your measure. There are no rifling marks, which makes me think a saboted muzzleloader bullet, but can't think of any in that caliber or weight. I suppose it could be a .40 or .45 that shed it jacket, therefore no rifling. Any guesses? [/QUOTE]
