✅ SOLVED Fired pistol bullet-how old?

[DownNDirty]

This was found at a site where we have found relics from the 18th, 19th and 20th century. It has been fired but no rifling. Diameter is .42 inch and length is .82. Could this be Civil War ot is it morr recent? Thanks

I'd say 1950's to now. You didn't mention the weight in grains which would help a lot. saying "44 special" if so would weight about 246 grains. 44 caliber modern pistols are really 42 caliber, like a 38 is 35 caliber.
