old bullet

Just wondering if any members are able to identify a bullet that may be from the Boer war or World war 1. If i post a pic - could anyone have a stab at identifying it. It was my grandads and he gave it to me years ago and i have just found it again.

I'd love to know the type (i have been told that it is a 50 cal..... whatever that means.

Thanks in advance:)

Well, post it and we'll see. With no way to accurately measure it I'm hoping that it is so unique that the picture alone will do the job. Is it a cartridge or just the bullet?

.50 cal means 1/2" diameter.
