Newbie Question Identification

Quick newbie question. Just started metal detecting about a month with my son. Found this bullet in my field. I have seen the 3 ring before but not this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I believe it is more modern. Please show us a pic of the base, is it flat or concave? Diameter in inches equals caliber.

Does that ring, have little lines in it? Cannelures is the name of the little vertical lines, and they indicate post-1880 manufacture.

Good luck to you sir!

Please include a pic of the base of the bullet and yes, diameter is important. Thanks for your post.

It doesn't especially look modern. Under magnification I cannot see any of the modern little lines on it. Try to get a diameter on it to determine the caliber.

Well I am trying to upload photos but it’s says I don’t have permission. I will try in the morning. It measured 0.303 inch in diameter
