Re: The earliest black powder calibers in metal case ?

Pretty sure the copper rim fire cases of the US, were drawn or perhaps punched, then formed to the rim-fire configuration with the hollow rim, I guess is a better descriptor for them.
The 44Henry ctg. was used in the 1860 Henry rifle.
There were other rimfires preceding this, 1857 for the .22 short.
