I don't think it is a toy, nor do I believe it is for a hand held firearm. As noted the primer looks like neither a Berdan or Boxer, in fact it does not look as if it had a separate primer. If it has a single flash hole inside then it is not likely a rim fire ( it does look like a rim fire) .
After looking very close at the rim under magnification ... there are marks that "appear"(I use that term loosely) to be machined ... so it is possible that the rim has been turned off ... another clue is that the "extractor groove is very shallow and very narrow .... please remember that this "object" is in rather bad condition .... trying to decide to clean it farther with out damaging it beyond it current condition...
I have Jane's Ammunition 2000-2001 edition. Your description is pretty close to the 8x63 Swedish round. Could you repeat your measurements carefully and maybe make them metric.?
The 8x63 Swedish is:
Rim=12.7mm
Case=63.00mm
Body=12.32mm
Neck=9.04mm
Bullet=8.20mm
of course the common 30:06 is
Rim=12.01mm
case=63.25mm
body=11.94mm
neck=8.64mm
bullet=7.82mm (yes it sez 7.82)
Maybe this case has laid in a puddle and become deformed? hehehe go figure
Rim diameter = 10.1 mm
case Length over all = 62.6 mm
Rim thickness = 1.8 mm
Case diameter near rim = 10.1 mm
Case diameter at shoulder = 8.7 mm
mouth diameter = 7.9 mm
Measured multiple times with a very good set of calipers... carefully each time!!!!!!!!!
