220 looks like a semi wadcutter pistol bullet. Somewhat unusual nose.

Yes, it's a bullet but I'm not sure what particular type of weapon it's
for.



It's a Minie Ball, used in black-powder/muzzleloaders. I'd say it's
about a .40 cal.
I'd say it is a 45 wad cutter. Plenty are used on rifle and pistol ranges.
If it slams into something - it pancakes nicely. Otherwise it punches a nice
and well marked (dark lead ring) around the hole.
