Unknown 22 caliber bullets
A friend of mine gave me a fruit jar full of .22 ammo than came from an old farm house in Iowa. There was .22LR, .22 bird shot,
and another .22 I can't identify.

Went to the shooting range today to shoot up some of the free ammo I acquired. In the batch of ammo is a shell that looks like a
.22 LR or .22 long.. The shell casings seem to have a band or ring formed on them. They do not fit into a .22 firing chamber. I tried a .22 revolver and a Taurus automatic. The bullet enters the firing chamber but not the shell casing. They have a "U" stamped on the shell.
An old timer at the shooting range said the bullets were for a Remington semi-auto rifle made back in 1901.
My question is, are these bullets valuable and how can I find them a new home?
Thanks,
Jim
