My buddy is going through some brass .45 cal and finds this? It is stamped 11.25 x 23 FLB 78

Anyone know what it is?

It has a double flash hole so I'm not sure how you would decap?

Just curious, Thanks, Chris

It's a Berdan primed metric equivalent to the .45 ACP. It appears to be made in Argentinian (FLB headstamp from what I'm seeing on the web), 78 would be year of manufacture
 
You can reload berdan, it's just a pain. I have a box of .308 brass berdan that I've been hanging onto for a rainy day project. I'm going to convert them to boxer.
