Some help identifying bullets and percussion cap?

[jbr13]

First bullet finds for me, and I need some help here. Got to hunt some land close to a civil war prisoner camp this morning and found these. Thanks for whatever help you can offer.

The "cap" appears to be a primer from possibly an old shotgun shell, the longer bullet may be a .22 long bullet (can't tell without the specific dia.), the remaining bullet could possibly be a small .30-.32 cal muzzle loader rifle or pistol round ball.

Thanks CRHunter, THe bullet is .300 dia x .485 long. The round ball, in my best estimate was around .35 to .37 diameter. If that helps

The .30 bullet looks like an old cartridge type of lead bullet. The round ball could very likely be a .36 cal pistol or rifle bullet. Good Luck with more finds.HH
