Can anyone tell me about this bullet ?

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

Hey,

Anyone know what kind of bullet this is or its Cal. Maybe a year it was made ?

Thanks and HH !!

Interesting find. It's post-CW, and approximately .50-.52 caliber. Maybe from one of the 1880's lever-action cartridges?

I can tell you it's a fairly modern bullet, we'd need a measurement in 100ths of an inch to know the caliber....

Sadly I don't have any Calipers, may have to get some... Thank you !

You really think its 1800's ?

Not much patina, I'm a bit skeptical of it being super old.

Looks like 45 acp cast lead alloy with wax groove or close to said caliber

Patina can depend on soil conditions, so while it doesn't have the typical white-ish coating I still suspect it's late 19th or early 20th century though I can't match it to a specific round.

I think nsdq is pretty much right on in thinking it's a .45. It's a slug from a reload and a pretty common type. Check this link and you'll see one almost identical to it.
