CW Bullet I.D. Needed

[Ripcon]

Here's a small 3 ring minie ball I found at the battle of Port Gibson, MS.
I've never found one this small. Probably around .45 calibre or so.
I've attached photos plus pictures compared against a standard .58 calibre minie ball.
Thanks for any help or guesses.

Possibly a .54? I’ve seen several before but this one is kind of beat up on bottom

I'm guessing more like a .50. Possibly a Lorenz?

Maybe with some measurements, and weight it’ll be easier to ID. I know I’ve had 3 ring Minies turn out looking smooth like an enfield because of what they hit

.54 was what the Lorenz came in during the Civil War, I don’t have my book in front of me, but the base of the bullet the last ring is much narrower than other Lorenz style bullets

I have a live round that I believe is from ww2 if someone could help me identify it please.

You would better off starting a new thread for it, and we will need some pics.
