I need some help identifying this bullet. I found this metal detecting in Ypres and I have not got a clue as I'm used to finding the same old .303 rounds 😂:poppy:

Looks more like a revolver bullet, like a .455.

Yes, .455" Mk. II Ball, most likely fired from a Webley Mk. VI revolver. Should be 7 rifling grooves. It looks as if it came to rest sedately without hitting anything very hard.
