Congrats on the lead.

577 caliber Confederate bullet. This style is an English-made Enfield bullet with “57” stamped inside the cavity and with a box wood plug to aid expansion. Made in England by Eley Brothers and run through the blockade into the Confederacy.

That one is on my bucket list, I think. I have an Enfield that still has the wood plug in it. I have never tried to remove the plug so it may be a 57.
Same here , Think I have a Fired '57' Base Marked Enfield tho . Sorry It's been a long while since I've looked at my Finds .
