Bullet Help

[DiggetyDog]

Found this cool bullet. It looks old to me. Does anyone know how old it actually is or what kind it is?

I'm not the bullet person, but it looks like a Burnside Carbine. We need to know the diameter and height.

Neat find

It's 1/2" tall and 3/8" diameter.

I am not possitive,but i hope this helps some!

Your bullet, which you say measures 3/8-inch in diameter, is an unfired civil war era Colt "New Model" bullet for .36-caliber revolvers.

Once again, Pete is exactly right. It went to a Colt pistol. Good little find!
