Bullet help?

When I dug it I thought it was slightly larger than a type 3 cleaner but wasn't sure, thought maybe my eyes were just playing tricks on me. But it does appear larger when compared. Also base hole is small and conical? Thanks

Any thoughts?

Since no one is coming forward, I will comment but I am probably wrong. I think you probably have two cleaners, but there is an unidentified bullet in the McKey book that look somewhat like yours. Look at number 310 for example. The one on the left looks somewhat like it has been fired. If so, that could change the configuration of the bullet. Anyway you look at it, it is a good find. Now go get the rest of them.

I do not believe it to be a cleaner of any type. The base is dished not pinned cavity. It actually looks like a Sharps carbine that was deformed on impact. I am fairl confident that this is the case.
