Best guess without dimensions would be a post-CW centerfire cast pistol bullet. It appears fairly old (potentially as far back as the 1880's), but it's from a metallic cartridge.

Oh, and probably a semi-wadcutter, .38 caliber or thereabouts.

I think post CW also, but don't know which one.

It's old. Probably at least 100 years

Thanks for intel. I tried researching on Google but couldn't find anything match it. The wide grove followed by the smaller one.
