Bullet ID help

Found this one today on the union side of the battlefield. It looks like part of a bullet. This is the first one I've found that has a conical nose. It appears to have been fired I can see the gooves in it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
Hard to tell not knowing the Caliber and what the base looks like. Definitely fired. The ring indented in the top is from being pushed hard into a gun with a ramrod.

It's a fired bullet for sure that was ramrodded in
 
I think this maybe a .69 cal. that was broken off and deformed by ramming it down a hot fouled barrel. It was fired from the Confederate side of the battlefield into union lines. What perplexes me is that the base is hollow. Were the .69 cals hollow based?
 
All the .69s I've found were.
