Teak. Did anyone ever make an inside primed .60 cal round. Similar to a .58 rimfire with two outside grease grooves. Bullet similar to mini ball. Diameter of projectile measures just of .600. Also a 44 cal bennet primed round. Maybe for a revolver. No markings on either. I don't have the exact measurements just now. Trying to find my calipers. Tom

  This reply is for those who were curious. I'm working with Tom outside of this venue on the ID on the larger round.
  
  (a) The .44 Benet primed is actually the .45 Schofield, circa mid 1870s.
  
  (b) Although the nominal caliber is .58, the ".58" rimfires typically had a projectile of about .600" diameter.
