One person from another forum says..... "It looks a little like a 416 Rigby-ish, although that neck looks a little long". He requested measurements, including case, case neck, and projectile.

I think it may be an anti-tank round. Possibly a Boys Rifle (English), or a DHSK (Dishka, Soviet), or a Hotchkiss anti-tank.

I'm going to say it is an Ackley Improved version of the 450/400 Nitro Express 3 1/4".

Here is the 450/400 Nitro Express 3 1/4". Blow out the shoulder and you should have something dang close:

Based on the material and shape of the projectile, which appears to be steel, I would lean towards this being an anti tank / anti aircraft round. Without a micrometer reading.... I'm guessing its a 20mm x 105b anti tank round. Picture below:

Second guess would be the Soviet 14.5mm round (similar to our beloved 50 cal)... but the shell profile isn't as close to the 20mm....

Let us know when you figure it out!

Looks to me like a .458 WinMag that went through the crimping die too far........Notice the neck has no shoulder, the crimping die was set too deep.
