Get some calipers so you can give us a diameter and length. These dimensions (along with weight) are key. Dimensions are most important. I'm guessing 1880 - 1900 from the style. Some folks on TNet are verry good at Id and I'm sure you'll get your answer. HH

Looks like a .45-70.

I’d say 38-55, but I have a knack for being wrong

It's an old fired, round nosed lead bullet with three lube rings.
without measurements and weight that's about all we can tell without guessing.

I agree with HuntingDog, looks...like a Confederate Minie Ball but dimensions are crucial on this

I don't think it is Civil War era,I think it is a modern bullet.
