Indian wars era brass fitting- firearm or hear??? Please help

[jagdpolizei]

This one has me stumpt. I thought it was a cartridge at first but now see differently. It is approx 1.5" long and is brass or copper. It is beveled at one end; however the inside diameter does not change from one end to the other. Smooth all along inside surface. Just before the tube tapers, you can see 2 lines which are each completely around the curcumferance and spaced approx. 1/4". I though it might be a ramrod tube from a rifle but there is no flange or mounting hole to affix it to a rifle. No found numerous cartridge cases, bullets,and button from Indian wars in same 50' square area. I hope someone out there can make sense of this.
Thanks very much in advance

A wild guess would be a black powder measure for a muzzle loading rifle .............................. A very wild guess !!!

Part of a ram rod tip , not seating the round but maybe for a cleaning jag or worm screw or pulling a ball ?

Thank you for trying to help me identify this. I think that member nsdq might have solved it but I'm still leaving this open in case there is something more out there .
Here are some photos I found of what nsdq was talking about

I found some pix of what you were taking about...... See my posed response. I think you might have nailed it.'bullet puller with screw section broken off.
Thanks for your input
