Looks like a .303, but I don't have one around for comparison. I've got a .45 Mag kicking around somewhere, but that doesn't really help much, does it? 😉
It's a rifle cartridge, and rimmed (heh), like a .303.

I'm getting 57mm from mouth of case to bottom of base for mine, yours looks longer, might might be because you took the photo so close.
Mk. 7 ball made by Greenwood and Batley, Leeds, UK in 1948.

Just measured it with the micrometer and the length is 56mm
and 7.93 opening diameter.
So a 303.
Thanks chaps.
