Odd 45/70 round

[carlsr]

Here is a 45/70 round that was in with some old rounds.
I believe it is either a blank or at one time maybe filled with shot??
Any ideas?

There is a paper wad below the crimp on the case which I did not take a picture of.

carlsr, What is the length of the case 2.1 or longer?

[carlsr]

I didn't measure it, it belongs to my brother.

The one in the picture is 2.097.
He has another, which I didn't see is 2.553

Gatling blank? The mechanism required at least a "semi/psuedo-bullet form" at the front to function through the feed. Hasn't this come up before?

Possibly Dick but if it wasn't talked about yesterday I done forgot
Thanks for the information.

Yes Dick, I recall one recently. The reason length was asked for.

It may even be a hollywood blank.
