Unknown Bullet

[Texas Johnny]

I purchased a small collection of bullets, see first photo. I think I have them all appropriately identified except one, see additional photos. The one in question was sold to me as a "Confederate Carbine" bullet. I am having a hard time determining exactly what weapon is was for and its origin. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much!

It looks like a 50 cal Macon Arsenal breech loading carbine bullet but the rifle grooves are not CW pattern as there are to many.

Do you have the diameter and weight? I'm thinking just going by photo it is in T&T "Roundball to Rimfire vol.4" on page 200. A #272 .54 cal. Miss. Rifle WT.470, Dia. .530, Length .97 solid base. Described as a Wilkinson pattern, N.C. Inst. Deaf, Dumb & Blind

Maybe the Dia. & Wt. will narrow it down

Upton J, it sure looks like the Wilkinson. I held it up to the photo in the M&M book and it looks dead on. Thanks so much!
