Old bullet ID? its a big boy

[gheenoe78]

Found this bullet over the weekend and haven't had much luck identifying it online. It the one on the left. I put it next to a standard .58 cal 3 ringer for comparison. Any ideas? Found near a war of 1812 and civil war site. Thanks.

Looks to be an Enfield.

Most people here will recognize US Standard measurements much more easily than Metric.....if you can get as specific a measurement as 1.55 cm, it might benefit to do the same in standard decimal form.....1.55 cm converts to roughly .61

Sorry! .68 inches diameter, 1.1 inches in length.

I think BBB is right. Looks like a .69 Caliber Tower Enfield.

I was thinking that also, but is it possibly a bit long for a tower?

Nope, I am wrong, there are some 69 towers that long.
