Had a few hours today so I decided to go somewhere besides my workplace site. Found some ammo and related items and a curious bullet tip, but I don't think it's a bullet

Yes it's metal

Ah. Then nevermind about the arrow tip. (There are arrow tips that are metal and look like that, but the bottom part would be threaded to screw into a modern arrow.)

That is definitely a bullet as evidenced by the rifling marks and the cannelure (the crimping groove around the bullet).
