Need bullet ID help...

[fwcrawford]

My buddy found a bullet today while searching around an old home site and I need some
informaiton on it.
It looks like it may be too modern for the civil war era, but I'm no expert.
It is the bullet in the center.
To the right is a .44 cal bullet and on the left is a .52 cal. sharps for scale.
Thanks in advance for any help and thanks for looking,
Felix

I was told that if the grooves in the bullet have serrations (like the edge of a dime) that it's modern. But there was so many differnet bullets and squirrle guns used by the Confederacy that it would be hard to tell. When I find a bullet like that, and I can't locate it in the Civil War bullet database mentioned above, I just write it off as an unknown but I still keep it. Hope this helps just a little.
