Looks like a musket ball, but some more details would help..... like the history of the site, type of metal, and maybe measurements with a digital caliper. There are lots of knowledgeable people here that would be glad to help, but they will need some details.
Congratulations on your finds

Pistol shot? Tell me more many thanks xxxx
Muzzle loading pistols were about at the same time as the Musket & finished, roughly in the mid-19th C. You need precise measurements to narrow down the options much further, which takes a real expert eye & a bit of guess work.
