A partially melted Buck N Ball cartridge consisted of one 0.69 caliber round ball (Buck) & three 0.36 caliber round balls (N Ball) tamped down a 0.69 caliber smooth bore barrel-which acts as a mini shotgun. Usually early war & effective at short ranges. Photo 1 shows a partially melted buck N ball cartridge (which is for sale). Think of photo 1 as two pics. The top half & the bottom half. The top half is the partially melted 0.69 caliber round ball. The bottom half are the three partially melted 0.36 caliber round balls. Photo 2 (not for sale) shows what this thang would have looked like before the melting began.

Keep in mind its cold & raining & now after dark. Need a fire fast. Gun powder from the cartridge in your box will make a fire faster. Add sticks & gunpowder & now you have a fire. Feelin' much warmer-pitch the now useless lead bullets in the camp fire or from my prospective, just close to the fire.
