Best I can figure is a .60 cal and weighs 414 grains. It's next to a regular drop .58 mini ball. The base may be carved.

Both are much smaller than .60 caliber. The 38 caliber was .36" and the 44 was about .45". Closest I can find in Civil War Bullet and Cartridges is .58 caliber RM, diameter .568, length .86, weight 416 grains. It is called the "one-ring insert" or "Tyler, Texas Enfield, cast in the South.
