Merrill Carbine Bullet (?)

Hey folks, I still need some help IDing this lead bullet. Along with some other items, it was shown in a Nov. post of mine. The bullet mic.ed, approx. .546" dia. x 0.835" long (the tip is slightly flattened) and weighs 385 grains. The base is solid except for a small divot in the base center. Based on the solid base, I believe it to be a breech loading carbine/rifle bullet. From all my researching images, etc. on the .net, It seems to fit the Merrill Carbine bullet specs the best. It was found NE of Kansas City at former cabin site on my property, where I have found several GS buttons and a 1838 Large cent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
