Bullet Identification Help Please

[Miker91]

This bullet measures .35 caliber. I have never seen anything like it. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.

Its called a picket bullet, and was used in civilian muzzleloading rifles. With that in mind, seek on-line and ye shall find.

Thank you Don. I'm familiar with picket bullets but can't find one with that tear drop shape and .35 caliber. It's also not a St. Louis made .36. If you could point me to a specific source that fits this bullet that would be great. Many thanks.

It's a variant of what is called a Sugarloaf bullet for a civilian rifle the St Louis is a 36 pistol bullet
