I found this bullet by a rock wall. It has NO rings. Is it an old bullet (like an enfield) or maybe modern.

Duggap is correct. More specifically, your bullet is a copper-jacketed .45 ACP bullet, strictly 20th-Century. The copper jacket covers the lead bullet's body, except for its base (where you can see the lead).
