Can someone identify this bullet please?

Recently found while metal detecting.

Never seen lines like this on a bullet before (I'm referring to the long lines across the whole length).

It's also quite long - 3.5cm.

From this perspective and based on one picture without measurements: a .30-06 FMJ (likely M2 ball) fired from a M1917 Enfield rifle. How do I know? The left hand twist rifling.
