What are these?

[kweis]

I found a couple of what looks like halves of lead bullets but pretty sure they are not. These two were found in separate areas many miles apart at what used to be old home sites. For sure they are lead and measure .50 (half inch) in height and about .720 in diameter. The angle marks around the top/side are factory made, not rifling marks from a gun barrel. One weighs 26 grams the other 29 grams. Photos attached but not the greatest. I think I've run into these before but just shrugged them off and into the recycling can they went. Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks for the responses. Didn’t think they would be anything worth shouting about.
