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.

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?

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

It may even be a hollywood blank.
