The official designation of this cartridge at the time was “US center-fire metallic cartridge” with the commercial designation being .50-70-450. This represented caliber .50, powder charge 70 grains, and a bullet weight of 450 grains.
This is an internally primed .50-70 cartridge with copper case, and a Benet style primer, made at the Frankford Arsenal. This cartridge has an overall length of 2.272” and a case length of 1.760”. Good condition, no corrosion.
