The tip has been flattened and there is significant scarring throughout; some areas are just beginning to become corroded with lead carbonate, this is the result of exposure to carbon dioxide and is a common sign of age.

This is a "shot" style bullet used in smooth-bore caplock muskets, not rifles; the bullet itself is made entirely of lead and is completely spherical in shape; the surface texture is pitted in several areas.
