Civil war bullet identification

[Tigerdude]

Found a few bullets this afternoon. This one I cannot identify. For reference sakes, it has the approximate dimensions of a .58 minie ball. Any ideas? Thanks

Wish I could help, but I'm stumped. Why don't you try the what is it or CW relic thread. I'll be watching.

Can we get a better non-distorted pic?

A good picture of the bottom of the bullet (the base cavity or lack thereof) would help.

A few more pics would help, but I think it is probably a Starr Carbine bullet.

does this help?

Wow! Makes sense. I'm hunting on an area that the Official Records Green and his Texans camped.

I figured you had to have found it in Texas or Louisiana, very nice drop. High dollar minnie
