I have one that looks just like that, and it's Civil War Era, so I'm pretty sure the one you found is also Civil War Era.

Sorry, definitely not a civil war .36 or .38-caliber bullet. Note the extra-wide groove near the base, and the only other body-groove is narrow. There's no .36 or .38 like that in the various civil war bullet reference-books.

Looks 1870s-1890s to me.
