I see a lot of reference to three ringers and two ringers. Is that related to them being civil war bullets? I've seen several people with the old three ring bullets saying they were civil war stuff.

Nice bullet. This is possibly a Williams Cleaner Bullet with the zinc flange missing from the bottom of the bullet. These bullets when fired would spin through the rifling of the barrel and as the bullet spun, the flange would clean black powder from the musket's barrel.
