THEY ARE 5-in-1 blanks!
I put on my reading glasses and realized I was looking at the markings UPSIDE DOWN! Looked like "IMI" to my old eyes. Turned around it reads "5-in-1" ... now I feel really stupid.
So they will fit .38-40 Rifle and Pistol
.44-40 Rifle and Pistol
.45 Colt

OAL - 1.545"
Body diameter just ahead of the rim - .453"
Case mouth O.D. - .430" I.D. - .402"

.414 Super Mag? But the oal is a touch too short for it to be that.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!
SORRY!! The only markings on the case head are: IMI and the manufacturer .. Starline. I do not know what they are so if anyone has an idea I will appreciate it. This was not meant to be a "stump the readers" test. I should have been more clear on my initial post.
I have gone from the imperial section of Howell's book into the dreaded metric section to see if it's there. The "IMI" might be Israeli Military Industries? Something for their Desert Eagle line?

Look on AmmoGuide.com and their 'cartridge identifier'....
I just found out my membership lapsed so have to renew to look, but it has a great identification/sorting/organizing tool based on all sorts of dimensions.
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
The mouth is similar to a couple of normal rounds such as .41 Long Colt. The rest of the brass is not right for that. I am guessing that it is some type of 10mm European round.

I'm going with 440 COR-BON.....
This case is too long for that .. closest thing I have found is the .414 SuperMag ... but it's a bit too short and it's bigger around at the base than the .414 ....

Explanation for my ignorance is in the top post.

OK. That explains the Starline with IMI quite nicely. I was trying to wrap my head around Starline putting out something for IMI. I've seen the 5 in 1 blanks listed on the Starline page, but never paid any attention to them.

The flash hole size should've been a give away also. Needs to be a bit larger than a standard case so the primer isn't pushed back, locking up the gun, as there's no enough back pressure to reseat the primer as happens in a live case. I used a LOT of blanks when I was training my horses for the Sheriff's Posse and competing in cowboy mounted shooting.
