    Nemo...can you ID this bullet for me?

    Found last weekend. Measures out at .54 and kinda got the look of a Gallager bullet but the flat base is throwing me off. You got any ideas? I'm thinking post Civil War. Slightly wormed on top but it does have rifling. [attachment 118707 102_0790.jpg] [attachment 118708 102_0791.jpg]
