bullet?

[M3T4L]

I'm pretty sure this is a bullet, but i live in Ohio nowhere near any battles but it could be a bullet, I have seen a lot of bullets before, but most of the time they're bigger and more rings like 3-4. I found this in the middle of a farmers field which is even more odd, I haven't found anything else in the field besides a round piece of lead, and a lot of farmers tools.

Need measurement of diameter and weight to be sure but it looks like a fairly modern bullet that came out of a crimped case, or was intended for a crimped case, hence the crimping groove. Monty

It's a modern bullet. you can tell by the crimp marks in the ring. not sure what kind though

I'm not sure if this will help ... but its worth a "shot."

Just find the "Bullets" section at the bottom of the page and see what you think!

But nothing with "crimping" as already mentioned!

As said modern bullet

modern bullet -- as in cartridge type bullet ( it might be a older black powder era type cartridge bullet --before smokeless powder came on the scene the old cartridge blackpowder bullets tended to have the round nose and heavy weight type design ( they were slower and needed the heavy mass to help kill )--- once modern smokelss powder came on the scene bullets were much faster and tended to be more pointy and smaller in overall size and killed thru "shock" )--see the crimp marks in the ring thats how the cartridge attached to the bullet holding it in place --it was crushed --or "crimped" together --when fired it the powder burnt off in the cartridge building pressure which forced the rear of the bullet past the crimped area in the cartridge and down the barrel -- if fired there shound be rifling marks from the barrels goovings. -- if in a old feild maybe long ago their was a deer eating some of the farmers crops --so he shot em or shot at em

Looks like this guy has lost interest. I vote no more information on bullets unless we can get some measurements or weight or something besides a one dimensional picture. This bullet could be any one of over a hundred different applications and anything we say is mostly an educated guess. Measuring and/or weighing the darn thing isn't that hard. Your pharmacist would probably gladly weigh it if you don't have a scale. Some bullets are easily recognizable but this one and others are not. I am amazed that we get so close to identifying these items because it's obvious very few people are bothering to even read the very first couple of items referring to what you need to do before posting in this forum. I'm not just picking on M3T4L, but to anyone who wants an item identified. M nty

It's not that I'm losing intrest I just didn't have a ruler or weigh-er at the time. But i got a ruler but i still don't have anything to weigh it with but I'll buy something later...

if you look to the right you will see a little stick on the end...that's a 1 just in case you can't tell where the inch ends :P

Earlier today I Emailed a photo of this bullet to the "Bull Run" guy, (whose link I posted previously), and he just replied back to me and said that the bullet was definitely "Post Civil War," which we (you) already knew, but I thought I would let you know what he said anyway. He had no comment other than that!
