ball
A ball is a round object (usually spherical, but can sometimes be ovoid) with various uses. It is used in ball games, where the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked or thrown by players. Balls can also be used for simpler activities, such as catch or juggling. Balls made from hard-wearing materials are used in engineering applications to provide very low friction bearings, known as ball bearings. Black-powder weapons use stone and metal balls as projectiles.
Although many types of balls are today made from rubber, this form was unknown outside the Americas until after the voyages of Columbus. The Spanish were the first Europeans to see the bouncing rubber balls (although solid and not inflated) which were employed most notably in the Mesoamerican ballgame. Balls used in various sports in other parts of the world prior to Columbus were made from other materials such as animal bladders or skins, stuffed with various materials.
As balls are one of the most familiar spherical objects to humans, the word "ball" may be used to refer to or describe spherical or near-spherical objects.
"Ball" is used metaphorically sometimes to denote something spherical or spheroid, e.g., armadillos and human beings curl up into a ball, we make a ball with our fist.

Got these years ago. The big bag has pretty good ones. One bad they are kinda gnarly. Any ideas? I will not be loading these. Can I resize them for a .308? I am thinking probably not.
Any idea before I try and trade them off for primers or something?
Thanks

Looking for a cap and ball blackpowder revolver,
Mostly interested in steel frames but I would definitely consider brass.
Have a 1941 izzy Mosin Nagant refurbed in Hungary for trade.
I got 200 rds of HXP in clips (25 clips) and all of it in a .30 cal ammo can for $205 cash.
The ammo is of various years mostly HXP. I say mostly because there are instances when the can may have contained a few other manufactures. As well as a few extra rounds (they're included in the price)...
