I picked up an old estate grab bag of ammo today.
Some random weird stuff but I could pretty much identify it all.
There are a couple I could use help on though. Let's start with this one.
Case length: .712"
overall length: 1.182"
rim diameter: .492"
rim thickness: .032"
base diameter: .464"
mouth diameter: .455"
