Civil War Bullets dug around Ft Meade Maryland. One Modified

Sorry for the multiple pics. First time doing this here. Check out the modified bullet. Seems the business end of it was drilled or removed then filled again making it flat. Dumdum round?

Until a member pipes in - take a look at Civil War Bullet ID Chart (Sep 05, 2013, 07:38 PM) to help you ID the type of bullet.

I dislike having to say this, but they appear to be 20th-Century bullets made for Blackpowder Rifle shooters.

If possible, please precise diameter measurements (hundredths-of-an-inch) of the side-by-side pair, one of which is the one you're asking about. I cannot explain that one, unless it is the equivalent of "wadcutter" bullet for Blackpowder shooters.

Need to see "sideview" photos of the others shown in a row. The one all by itself above that row is definitely a "Rifled Shotgun" slug from the 20th-Century, still being made and sold today. See the photo below.

OP
Those Measurements would have been nice.
