Saw this at a thrift/antique store today. No writing on bottom. 16" long, 4.25" across at base. Holes are machined. 4 small indents evenly spaced near top. You can see 2 of them on either side of the price tag. Never seen anything like this before, but that's not saying much. Some sort of training piece?

Re: What's this shell?
You should have measured the mouth, but it’s a recoilless rifle shell. Either 3”/75mm or 105mm based on a 4.5” base.
I’d be interested, it’s definitely a good grab.
