22 grams is 339 grains. Grains are what bullets are weighed in. That's a big bullet if it weighs that much. I am guessing 45-70 or something in that area...d2

Can you estimate how old this bullet might be? I found it in an 1800s park.

I do believe d2 is correct.
As for time period ,1870-1920???
Just a Wild Guess from a Clouded Mind LOL

It still will look good in a "Found"bullet Display.

Modern lead black powder muzzleloader bullet.
 

Sorry, but it's not very old. Not Civil War era for sure...d2
 

Definitely post civil war actually I'd say rather modern

The bullet looks like a civil war era.
Looks like a Yankee bullet.

We live & we learn, at first I thought a Civil War Bullets were Round 'Musket' Balls .

Time has proven me wrong.
