Hard to tell without a size reference but it is a post 1900 bullet. (It has a crimp groove)

That's what I thought. I did some quick research and some CW bullets did look like this with crimps engraved. Weighing it would probably help aswell. Thanks

Although I cannot be 100% certain, dur to the smallness of the photo, your bullet appears to have multiple parallel ridges inside the body-groove. Relc-diggers call that a "reeded" groove. There were no such bullets during the civil war era. The earliest appearance of "reeded" grooves on bullets was in the latter-1870s to early-1880s. Reeded-groove bullets are still being manufactured today, which makes dating them accurately extremely difficult, unless the bullet itself can be specifically identified. Here's a photo showing a reeded-groove bullet.

Do you know what kind of bullet that is? I found one today that is exactly like it.
