Ball or Slug?

[Swartzie]

Found this in an area where I have found two molded, unfired rifle balls and a mold. My first thought was that it is a fired ball. It also weighs about the same as the balls I have found previously. But, it kinda looks like a slug. any opinions?

Looks a bit like a badly impacted 'smooth sided' Enfield (circa CW).

Has to be a slug if it were a ball there would be more of an outward shape instead of a cone type of shape on that first pic.
I also know that either slug or ball they can be misshapen beyond recondition depending on what they hit.

Shot gun slug for sure. I find these often. In the first picture you can see the plug looking base and the lines on the outer edge.
