Seven Sided Bullet?

[XL-PRO PRO]

Yesterday I dug what I thought was a carved bullet because it had seven flats.It appears to be about a .32 cal. and was found at a skirmish site(found a gun tool and a watch key in the same area).Were there weapons that used this type of bullet?DBULL

Whitworth bullets had flat sides. I don't know the number though. They were made in 45 caliber.

Did it look sorta like these?? If not it may have been carved.

Mine must be carved,because it is a smaller caliber and lot shorter.Thanks,DBULL
