Help Me ID this bullet....

[jhnbaker]

I was hunting with a friend at a Yank camp site in Rienzi MIssissippi when I found this bullet on top of the ground. At first I thought it might be a sharps because of the hole on the end but the pattern in it on the side has me confused. Help!!!!:confused:

jhnbaker,

Can you post some measurements?

Thanks,

This is my best guess with the old measuring tape that I have. It is about 3/8 of an inch tall (due to the top portion being flattened) and .72 of an inch across the bottom. Hope this helps! :confused:

i found this in gettysburg it is more disfigured but has the same crosshatching as yours and the band in the center... pictures kinda crappy but it is there.... i figured it was modern muzzel loader bullet,,,, if you find out anything different let me know....
