Hi Eric,
Was going off the base inscription " 3" dummy cartridge " which lead me to think US 76mm M1 Anti-Tank gun round.
There's a dummy 76mm on this link

Indeed it does. Hadn't looked at the base stamp. Surely if it says '3'' practice round' then that is what it is ? If it was 76mm it would say so, or 105mm for that matter. The base stamps were always very specific !

Can you take another picture of the base so we can see all the markings ?

Sorry Steve I guess i live in a world where I tend to convert imp. measurements to metric (my old boilmaking days). 1 inch=25.4mm so my 76mm (76.2)
Could also be a M5 3' AT gun round.
Sorry for any confusion.
Cheers
Dave

Not to be argumentive,but if you accurately measure the projectile I think you will find it is 75mm or 76.2mm as already mentioned.It does have 3" marked on the base. Pete.
