Hi All
Anyone have any idea as to what type of lead bullets these are? What rifles are they from?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

The top row looks to be from revolvers or pistols(stubby bullets) and the bottom row is buckshot, which comes in different diameters.
 
1&2 appear modern, 3-6 appear to be Civil War era, and 7-9 appear to be Colonial-Civil War era. 10-12 are bucky balls.

Bucky balls were fuzed togeter with a musket ball and would give you more pellets leaving the gun when fired. Some however can be modern buckshot.
