This was for the .69 caliber rifled muskets being used in the Federal service. These were machine "pressed and turned" bullets made at a Federal arsenal.
This particular style features no grooves, otherwise the faint nose band and cavity are the same on all of this type of machine-made bullets. This type, with no grooves, is the least common version of these bullets which are also found in .54 and .58 caliber.

Measures: 0.673” x 1.225”
