That is a semi-balloon head case.

Solid rim but a folded primer pocket.

Some good illustrations here on the differences.

The powder would be very difficult, if not impossible, to fully identify just given the shape.

However, I have some resources that may provide some insight on what it MIGHT be.

My guess is that it's from Hercules.
