looks like it came from a modern black powder muzzleloader

Sure looks like a 230gr FMJ from a 45ACP pistol.

Can you write with it? If the answer is "Yes", then it's lead .....................a bullet.

As TxMike said, it is a FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) 20th-century copper-jacketed .45 caliber automatic pistol bullet. With bullets, the term "jacketed" means the bullet's lead body is partially or fully covered by a thin layer of another metal. In your case, the jacket is copper.

Unfortunately, we cannot accurately date your bullet, because it has been continuously manufactured for about 100 years, and is still being made today.

Yep Milwaukee County parks..The 3 hollow points in the back I dug up right next to a tot lot . The Park was not to far from the Mitchell Airport.. This is just from the South Side of Milwaukee , which is the only place I MD . You will not catch me on the North Side Packerbacker if you know what I mean.. Shane

Yep... it's the one on the left in the "front row" (of two bullets).
