jvance, given that diameter, you might have a .405 Winchester slug. The weight seems a bit low, but that could be from corrosion.

NOLA thanks for your input ill definatly have to look into that. but it looks to narrow to be a slug. oh well the search continues i suppose lol

well by slug I mean bullet. although it's about the same size as a .410

Nola you were exactly right! Had it taken to a gunshop and spent sometime talking to some older gentlemen and after examining it and checking weight and diameter they also said a .405 Winchester mag. Model 95. Sorry it took so long to get back to ya guys.
