The lack of rifling doesn't bring a question of the rifle it was fired from as these were smooth bore rifles, it does however make me thing it was taped to a board and used for target practice. Those were swagged soft lead cores with copper, final shape produced in a press, the pointy end should be slightly compressed and the small diameter would have diverted the point up or down, I believe had they both been traveling at 1800 to 2200 ft/s they would simply not have made it to their intended target. Just my 2 cents worth....
