I have fired thousands of lead bullets at targets with a dirt backstop. This bullet looks identical to hundreds of them I recovered from the dirt.
I think it is a 158 grain 38/357. The bullets I have found were all .38's, 44's and 45's and each of them was was mushroomed in the same manner. They would also have those small pits in both the sides and nose, from striking the dirt.
Some might ask why I dug up so many. I did it so that I could cast them again. I don't remember many jacked bullets but there were a few. I didn't shoot many jacked bullets because they were too expensive. The jackets were mostly intact on the ones I found.
Yeah, you are right... Klikitarik straightened my head out on that already.
