Is this a musketball? If so, what's the possible age?

Picked this up in a corn field where relics as old as the 1700s were found. Could it be a musketball?

Thanks!

Not musket, a smaller caliber muzzleloading roundball. Could be rifle, smoothbore or pistol. It appears to be old, but these have been in use since the first colonization and are still in use today. No real way to say how old.

Looks like it is around .45" a common rifle caliber. I can see a mold seam, possibly from a forged iron scissors type mold. For NH let's say 1790–1870.
