The shim stock on the case head almost looks like what you'd do if you were using the case and the shim stock to make a No-go or Field headspace gauge. Past that, .44-77 Sharps and Remington looks pretty close, but not exact.
My guess is going to be 11mm Spanish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.43_Spanish
