Dunno, looks bit crunched, maybe from civil war though. The rings on that bullet is characteristics to these bullets from the civil war Era.

Steve1357 and Civil_war22 are correct, your finds are modern-made cast lead bullets for muzzleloading Blackpowder rifle shooting. Specifically, your bullets are called a "Maxi-Ball" bullet, because of their resemblance to the civil war era "Minie-Ball" bullets used in Blackpowder rifles during that era. See photos below.
