Strange cartridge, anyone?

How about this funny looking bullet? Any ideas? Base measures about .355" and rim about 385". Bullet is inside the case and the crimp is a center punch mark. Thanks.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Looks like a 1895 Nagant round that is not necked ?

I'm w/ JBS. His reference photo shows more case neck reduction than is common, based on my limited exposure to these rounds. There are quite a "few" variants, however!

With the examples I have, it maches perfectly to the 7.62 Nagant revolver cartridge. They have the same sloped shoulder and the dot crimp part way down.
