Can anyone tell me anything about this bullet I found today? It appears to have some rifling striations around its base and a hole in the rear.
Thanks!

Had to use a penny to get it to stand on end.

Need to see a picture of the side of it if possible. It could be a modern shotgun slug or it could be much earlier.

Added side views per your request! Hope you can see what you need!
Thanks!
 

Thanks - hate to tell you but it is a modern (post 1900) shot gun slug. Thanks for adding the pictures and I hope you get out and find an older and better one the next time!
