Hi guys. I was wondering would anyone be able to help me identify this round, as I havn't a clue of it's origins? It's some sort of 22 centre fire round, but after that, I don't know. Pics below should give all the measurements needed. I know someone on here will know this. Thanks a mil.

Thanks for the replies.

I actually don't have the round myself, but I was very interested to know more about it. It makes perfect sense now, but I would never have thought of that myself.
