Your bullet doesn't fit anything I'm familiar with. Similar to a "Georgia teat base" but they are larger diameter. Better pics would help. If you can get exact micrometer diameter measurements and length, then try to find someone that reloads and weigh on their bullet scale. I need to know the weight in grains. Let me know via email.
Thanks,
David

BTW; Kerr is pronounced CAR in England. It is pronounced CARE in Scotland and we just say Kerr, like it's spelled 
Tim, if you have a Kerr (#439 in the MM book) it will have a dia of .422 and a weight of 225 grains. It was for the British Kerr target rifle which the south used as a sharpshooters (sniper) rifle. They are tiny compared to typical .57 caliber bullets. Length will be .910. Would be a good find for sure. Here they are only known from the battle of Murfreesboro/Stone's River area (1862-63: 3 day battle). Good hunting, David@Dixie
