Nah...that would be too easy! You'll need to be a serious collector, with deep info sources, to get this one. I wanted this round for years and finally found one about 2 years ago. I'll reveal the answer tonight.
Let's try another...a bit easier this time.
I'm going to guess 9x53 R.Let's try another...a bit easier this time.

222 was the first thought. Confirmed that when I saw the file name…Let's try another...a bit easier this time.
Then I'm going to have to go to the 8x52 mannlicherOooh...very close, but no cigar.
Man I has no idea on that one.Ok...looks like you've had enough. It's a .44-77 Remington Reloadable.
Thinking it it a piston cartridge prototype. But I'm probably way off base. The rounded base is confusing me.Perhaps some of the less recent THR members remember this from a previous post, please don't spoil it for the newbies. I have never met anyone else who knew what it is, let alone owned one. A THR search may find its identity.

I've seen a drawing or pic of its like before, but I will not go to the bookcase to research it. Off the top of my head I'm recalling some kind of front-loading single-shot rifle.
Right direction?
I see what looks like a bullet and primer, but the shape looks more to me like a magazine follower for a lever action.
Is it a gallager carbine 50 cal?Yup, way off base.
It was "a drawing", a very small drawing, in a famous reference book on small arms that brought it to my attention.
It definitely is a centerfire cartridge that is loaded into the front of a chamber of a repeating rifle.
