.32 cal. Teatfire cross section

I figured I'd scan this piece since you all are being boring on the forum.
It is a cross-section of a .32 cal. teatfire cartridge, flat teat variety. What I found most interesting is the bullet. I had always thought a simple Colt-style bullet would be in these. But notice that it has two grooves. The lower groove aligns with the crimp and is just slightly wider than the top groove.

pretty cool, I found 5 of those a few years ago near Ft Anderson all in a little pile, but didn't know what the bullet looked like
