✅ SOLVED CannonBall Guy this one is for you

I was at my campsite last sunday that I found back in Febuary. Toward the end of the hunt I retrieved this bullet.


This is the first of this bullet type that I have dug...

It weighs 0.731 oz.... and the other measurements are in the last 2 pics:

It's been carved on a little and looks like slice marks on the foward cone


I was thinking it is a Maynard, but that seems unlikely in Western Ar. ( Trans Mississippi Theater )...

So what do ya'll think??

Hope this helps identify

Thank you for providing the photos showing your bullet's exact measurements in a digital caliper. (Very few people bother to do that, so I'll say again, thanks very much.

Allowing for a little bit of "carving loss" on the bullet's nose-tip, the measurements and form indicate it is indeed a .50 Maynard. The pointed-nose variety is scarcer than the blunt-nose version. Congratulations.
