223: level line holder for mortar. put in between the joints in the blocks
on each corner, run a string all the way across for your straight line of
brick or block. When done with that coarse remove it and fill the joint.
Like the wooden blocks that hang on the edge, but more true. It can not be
bumped up or down.

The Minie ball was neither mini nor a ball. It was invented by a guy
named Minie, and looks pretty much like what you have. The base
should be hollow.

I don't think it's so old as to be US Civil War. In fact, the nose looks
quite modern sort of wadcutter, rather than early 20th century. The base
looks older. As you say, the base will tell if it's a Minie. For those
who don't know, the useful feature of the Minie was that, while it was
small enough to pass easily down the barrel when loaded from the muzzle,
the hollow base expanded to engage the rifling, or at least seal
tightly. Similar looking pistol bullets, without the deep hollow, were
also made for cartridge loading. The unusual thing about this one,
compared to most older wadcutters, is the straight slope of the bullet
and the fact that it's set rather far in from the edge.

Not sure about a "Maxi" ball, but a "Minnie" (not "mini" ball is
named after the inventor. A projectile used in the Civil war era to
replace the previous bullets, which were round balls. The term "ball"
continued for some time after that, even applying to 38 special revolver
cartridges and 45 ACP cartridges during WWII. The Minnie ball (it
really needs an accent somewhere which I am not prepared to add) had a
hollow base. It was easily slid down on top of the power with the
ramrod, and when fired, it expanded to grip the rifling more firmly.

I had already suggested a bullet with a Minnie ball as a
possibility, and the way to tell is to look at the bottom. If it is
flat, it was a more recent cast lead bullet. If it has a significant
cavity in the base, it is more likely to be a Minnie ball, though I
believe that the outer surface is normally smoothly curved, not stepped
as this one is.

Enjoy,
DoN.

It persists today, but refers to fully-jacketed (not hollowpoint or
soft nose) ammunition, which the Minie wasn;t.

Thanks for the information, I'll have to do some research on this one. I
added another photo showing the bottom, it is hollow and about 1/2" deep:
