That's a bit vague and depends on what you mean by "modern bullet round," but there are some interesting articles on the development of the bullet at Wikipedia.

This may be what you are looking for:


In the American Civil War (1861-65) a breechloading rifle, the Sharps, was introduced and produced in large numbers. It could be loaded with either a ball or a paper cartridge. After that war many were converted to the use of metal cartridges. The invention by Samuel Colt of revolver handguns that used metal cartridges established cartridge firearms as the standard thereafter.
