This high-band Read has
excellent rifling from the twelve lands and grooves (left-hand twist) of the 3-inch
Confederate rifle. Projectiles of this pattern are found in Atlanta Campaign
sites. The two bourrelets on this variety are narrower than those typically
found on Read projectiles. The pictured specimen was found at the Battle of Kennesaw
Mountain, a site relating to the Atlanta Campaign. This variety of
Read projectile is rare.
