 Man these things are so hard to nail down for me. Is this or could this be a .44 caliber Colt or Henry?

measures about.. 0600 to .905T .44 D and 182W

The Henry's I know about have a more rounded nose.

  Txrelichunter, for whatever it's worth to hear, I agree with Emike... the civil war .44 Henry bullet had a more-rounded tip to its nose than what we see in your photos.

Also:
  .44 Henry cartridges could only be fired in a gun which would accept that cartridge. The .44 Henry Rifle had 6-groove rifling.  The .44 Colt Revolver (and .44 Colt Revolving Rifle) had 7-groove rifling.  In your photos, your bullet shows rifling-marks, but I can't count them.  What's the count? If your fired bullet is a Henry, there's very little chance it was fired out of anything but a Henry Rifle/Carbine... which means it should show 6-groove rifling if it's a Henry.

Regards,
Pete

I'd go with calling it a fired Colt (New Model).

 The bullet is damaged on the one side.. So I can't really tell but I would guess 6
