It is a fired civil war era .44 revolver bullet. I can see a slight indentation encircling the lower part of your bullet's nose, which was made by the revolver's loading-rammer. The axial (lengthwise) ridges on your bullet are rifling-marks made by the revolver's rifling-grooves during firing. Although that pistol's bore diameter is .44-inch, the rifling ridges increase the fired bullet's diameter by about .01-inch.

The "most plentiful" .44 revolver of the civil war era was the Colt version ...so, the statistical odds favor your bullet being a Colt type fired from a Colt revolver. However, the number of rifling-grooves on a bullet can sometimes tell us the specific type of gun that fired it. Carefully count the number of rifling marks on your bullet.
Remington .44 revolvers had 5 grooves.
Kerr .44 revolvers had 6 grooves.
Colt .44 revolvers had 7 rifling-grooves.
