232 grains weight (a more common measurement unit of bullet weight). Also having the diameter would help ID. With that hollow base, it looks old. Guess about .45 caliber. Someone more expert than I on bullets of that era can probably ID it accurately.

I'm not gonna say it's not a CW bullet, but I will say it's not a Gardner. There are several Gardners in the bottom row of this picture that I dug in WV.

Thank you for the info, it is more rounded at the top, i was looking at a guide online and i just thought it looked the closest, those are very cool finds, what part of west Virginia
