.50 ?

[stuff]

Hi All again having a sort out of some old draws came across this case.

When I chucked it in the draw I must have assumed it was a .50 Browning but looking more closely the case is shorter.

The case length is 96mm and the shoulder is approximately 1mm higher than a .50 Browning.

The case crimp is a little unusual, any information on the case or manufacture would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Thank you Hoeksel the neck of the case looks a little off, looks like someone has used pliers to ‘pull’ the projectile out of the case.
