14.6mm steel item

Hi all,
Hoping someone can ID this little gem that recently turned up. Chap says his mate got it from his grandfather (who served in the Brit. navy)in a box of WWI items. It is made of steel, HS reads: 4.18 HRS RNTF it has a stamp on the side just above the extractor groove & the letters HRS on the opposite side. The primer goes almost the entire internal length of the case & seems to have remnants of tar around the inside of the cart. It is parallel sided.
Any ideas please?
Regards Ozzi.
