Big bullet... ID needed!

[tuatara]

G'day all,

Well, I guess that this large bullet was not used to hunt hares... not even 'roos! The bullet appears to have 3 rings and is filled with another metal (?)... Bullet Gurus, can you please put a name and date to my bullet The site dates back to 1840's, however, the majority of activity took place in the 1900's.

Yeap, have lots with the red/brown clay insert

So red/brown clay and not iron. Is there a date range for that type of bullets?

1870-90s
