Short hunt this morning

[Ohio pull tabs]

Could this be a 3 ringer

Congrats. I'm not a CW bullet guy, but it sure has the right patina to it. What diameter is it if measured with calipers. That might help others make a better educated guess. Nice!

That's my first if it is, bucket lister for me.

I don't think so, see the reeding in the grooves? That's indicative of a more modern bullet. The grooves themselves don't have the same orientation as a three ringer, I can't explain it, but pull up a pic of a three ringer and you'll see what I'm talking about. Finally, don't three ringers have a hollow base? As a wild guess I'd say a 45-70 rifle bullet. I could be completely wrong, I often am.

I agree with grinnell, post civil war 45-70 1880's. Thats one big hunk of lead. I have dug them on Indian war sites.
