✅ SOLVED Lead bullet with Broad Arrow mark

Found a few years ago, but just noticed the broad arrow. It’s 1.26 inches long and diameter is .47 of an inch.
Any ideas?

A broad arrow marking typically means British Military Accepted. So you are looking at a British made bullet.

Thx, I should of mentioned that I knew it was British because of the Broad Arrow. More wondering about what type of gun it was used for or any additional information.

Oops sorry there, it's a Martini Henry round, here's an example I shamelessly swiped from the internet. You can just make out the two grooves on your example. They are actually a cartridge round.
