yeah. that would kill you fast, a lot more effective than a modern 9mm bullet for example.

There's a reason so many people lost limbs in the CW. The damage done by the 3 ringer was often so severe it was easier and quicker to just saw off limbs than try to save them.

Can't really compare that with a modern 9mm. It's like comparing a .50cal to a .22

This is my favorite one. It's perfectly smooshed and had a little folded piece where I drilled it through to make a necklace. I wear this often as a sort of good luck piece when I'm hunting civil war areas. This piece and most of the ones shown are from the retreat from Antietam when the Union army pursued the confederates across the Potomac river. Lots of rocky bluffs here where the lead was hitting.

That is officially my favorite too! Awesome find!!
