Unusual Mini Ball

[shanegalang]

Got back out on a site that has produced round balls, three ringers and shell fragments in the past. I found this bullet. the odd thing about it is that it has a flat base, it's not concave like the others I have seen. It's right at 25mm long (1 inch) and weighs 26.6 grams. looks like 2 rings. Thanks for any help IDing this one. Shane

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks everyone for the input..........Sharps Long from what I understand. Still unclear if it's a Union or Confederate
