✅ SOLVED Bullet ID- richmond lab. Sharps?

[Tigerdude]

The flat bottom bullet measures .525 give or take. I have it next to a sharps if same dimension with its typical dimple in base. Is this a Richmond lab sharps

Sorry to have to disappoint you, but your bullet is definitely one of the varieties of yankee-made civil war Sharps bullets. The Confederate-made "Richmond Arsenal" Sharps bullet does not have a raised band at the bottom of its sides. See the photo below.
