Bullet Id help please

Anyone have a guess on this bullet. Dug it in my yard of, 1912 house. I've dug hundreds of civil war bullets in my life and this looks diff than standard 3 ring minnie. Thanks

Measurements? Please and thank you.

Maybe a 54 cal. Gallager?

Without measurements all we can do is speculate so my guess is a 58 cal. nose cast 3 ring variation.

I know. Just thought I'd take a shot at it. I still need to get a calibrator myself.

I bought my digital one at a local auto parts store for about $20.00. I had bought one from Lowe's but it didn't last anytime. The digital readout went crazy.
