Hi guys
Another find today was this bullet, I know nothing about ordinance but it looks like a 22? And fairly modern I would guess?
All comments are welcome thanks

Check the sizes given Guys, maybe a bit small for a minie ball do you think





I kind of agree with the dimensions, it does seem small? But having looked at other examples of minie balls, they look the same!
I understand looking the same might not count
