First ever ringed bullet

[JVA5th]

First ever ringed bullet I've found. I'm curious to know the age of it and what gun would use these. I've done tons of bullets here in California but this is the first like this.

To me, it looks like a .58 caliber "Gardner" bullet. Wait for a couple of our resident experts to chime in though, because I'm guessing. Great find!

Thank you for the info, yeah I hope someone will know what it is. I enjoy learning more. Hoping to gain more knowledge so I can help others identify things plus I enjoy learning about relics.

Diameter and length would help us.

Welp I must not be good with Google as I myself still haven't figured out what kind of bullet this is. I ended up find a old post on this with someone who had one very similar to mine but still no answers on what it was. People claimed civil war bullet on that one however impossible with my as mine came out of central California. I'm wanting it to be something neat but I'm sure it won't be. Just not a lot about one ringed bullets on Google.

Looks to be about 11mm, which equals about .44 cal.

Since you don't list a weight, could be a 44 Special 246 grain
