Hopefully, this is something I can build off of. I filled some jars with minie balls and paired with some Union and Confederate bullets.

Edit - Sorry, tony_gunter, your answer is not correct, but welcome to the trivia game, anyway.

Is this a wide mouth jar or the standard mouth jar? Asking for a friend.
