Is this bullet a Spencer? (or modern?)

Hi all.

Diameter is a hair over .50, so I would think it's a .52 caliber. Weight is 396 grains.

It was found in the area where other bullets have come from. I think it's CW, but that is some heavy rifling marks. The .44 Colt was found about 10 yards from it and is there for size comparison.

Thanks for any insight.

I agree, looks like a fired Spencer.

Cool, thanks everyone for the help. I'm sure you veteran CW hunters get tired of our newbie questions. :laughing7:

I actually found a small iron chain that same day and I was going to post it to see if it might be military related, but I didn't want to embarrass myself. Sometimes a chain is just a chain. :laughing7:

Thanks again. :icon_thumright:
