Richmond Labs,
.54 cal
These bullets are referenced Mason & McKee series #464 / 465
and are referred to as Richmond Labs carbine bullets. This was the
Confederate bullet, made specifically for the Richmond Carbine. These Confederate bullets are a good
bit more scarce than the two ring Gardner Confederate bullets.
All recovered from the 1864 campaign in the Shenandoah Valley near Winchester, Va which changed hands 70 times in the conflict. Most came from Cedar
Creek which was Jubal Early's last effort to win the Valley, these inferior
weapons were no match for Sheridan's new Spencer carbines.

Shipping can be saved on bulk purchases. Prices above are one bag per box, however the flat rate of $9.00 will cover as many as we can fit in a box, one cost to anywhere in the USA. I don't think the Post office thought about relicman shipping bulk bullets when they set those rates. Bullets up to 400 can be packed into a single box, cost is just $9.00 anywhere in the USA! (plus insurance).
