Hi Forum.

I am trying to ID this piece.

No markings anywhere.

Any help much appreciated.

The case is a 20 x 102 Vulcan...........that's the easy bit.
The projectile has an unusual profile, I wonder if its cored. Does it come out of the case?

Looks to me like someone has knocked up a mock projectile in a lathe to put in a fired case.
