I don't know lead very well, but it looks like a black powder bullet to me.

Looks like a modern cast cartridge bullet to me. One big lube groove, and a crimp ring. Pretty common target round. Just like hundreds that I have waiting to load in my gungeon (<-wife's name for my man cave).

Modern .38 semi wadcutter. The vertical lines are from rifling in the barrel.
