Little bitty three ringer - ideas?

[7539]

finally for today, i found this in my dual use campsite - nearby was a so-called "State guard Minie" which was used exclusively in camps of General Sterling Price...however, this one is smaller and doesn't have a deep cavity.

it is .30 cal more or less, is round tipped, and has almost a cupped cavity - very shallow...I can't find it in the book.

Ideas? I have included comparison with a .69 and a .54 three ringer...

Thanks!

I'm guessing your bullet is post civilwar. Look real close inside the ring and see if you find any crimp marks. That would tell you it's post war. But lead can get that nice white patina from being in the ground less than a hundred years. Regards

I thought the same thing, but I see no crimp marks under a magnifying glass...although it appears to have been fired amd they may be hard to see...guessing maybe a .32 cal pistol bullet of some sort...
