I recently purchased this unusual looking cartridge, and am trying to ID it, it is rimmed and rimfire. The case appears to be made of copper, and is approx. 1.5 inches long, OAL is 2.2 inches, the bullet dia. is about .420, rim dia. approx. .625. And has a capital U stamped on the head, which I assume stands for Union Metallic? Doing some research it looks a lot like the Swiss 10.4X38, an old military round, but I'm not sure? I thought possibly some of the old single shots like the Ballard may have chambered for a round like this?
