Based on the material and shape of the projectile, which appears to be steel, I would lean towards this being an anti tank / anti aircraft round. Without a micrometer reading.... I'm guessing its a 20mm x 105b anti tank round. Picture below:

Second guess would be the Soviet 14.5mm round (similar to our beloved 50 cal)... but the shell profile isn't as close to the 20mm....

Let us know when you figure it out!
