Does it look like this?
Eley .577/.500 No. 2 Black Powder Cartridges  It's a Vintage, collectable. From what I've found, 4 rounds goes for about $160, so you're holding about $40 in your hand fellow

Petey, on second look, mine is not a bottle neck......brass is 68mm long/folded head...bullet appears to be paper patched,
head stamp is .577 Eley London. Dan

Aw schucks.. That drops the price to around $20 a round
 ha ha.It's still a collectable. I think you're looking around the late 1800's (1875'ish) at this particular round. They used to make BP double-guns out of this round.
