The flat bottom bullet measures .525 give or take. I have it next to a sharps if same dimension with its typical dimple in base. Is this a Richmond lab sharps BA7B0691-9A3C-445E-A15B-330E1255B079.pngBA7B0691-9A3C-445E-A15B-330E1255B079.png2DCEDFF0-6257-4413-B811-37EF529A8A42.png
 

Sorry to have to disappoint you, but your bullet is definitely one of the varieties of yankee-made civil war Sharps bullets. The Confederate-made "Richmond Arsenal" Sharps bullet does not have a raised band at the bottom of its sides. See the photo below.
