Old school shotgun cartridge. Can't tell what bore from your picture. Oldish, not modern.

Oh, and if you EVER call such an item a 'bullet case' again, I will be forced to insert it into one of the darker recesses of your body.  Sorry, but it's a pet hate of mine.......bloody bullet case.... PAH!

@Davejb will tell you........

Certainly not 303 as there is no shoulder or neck. Shotgun cart......
