    Rough cores for swaging???? Otherwise what R5R said, homegrown experiment that didn't pan out.
    sent via hammer and chisel

    need oversized powder funnels , PTX's or expanders ? just ask, I make 'em for most brands plus my own styles.

    Copper colored but are they copper or maybe plated steel and not intended to be "bullet" at all?

    That spot(arc mark?) on all of them makes me think they are spot welding tips. Call it a hunch.

    Me thinks so too. What do they weigh? If they are indeed copper I would bet they are for a spot welder and not bullets at all.
