I appreciate the info. We don't see much lead shot out this way so new to the bullet ID. Im thinking it was a 45LC someone was shooting. Was odd because it was in 8 inches of hard dirt.

Thanks again for the clarification

Agreed, semi-wad cutter. Looks to be around 200 grains, probably .45 (could be ACP, GAP, LC, etc) or .44 (mag, short, etc..). Not extremely old.
