    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    What the duce.... No stamps on it? Could you place it next to a .22 round or a 556 round? Something to use as a reference....? Or you could always run a set of callipers over it....
    Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hmm, so it is rimmed, the head looks like 577 and paper wrap ?

    Neck looks too narrow for 577 snider...

    Short .500/450 like a 1 9/16" maybe?
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    It looks a bit like a bullet, a reasonably big one with about half the power of anything modern, getting close?
