Help Id this interesting item.

Picked this up today and have no idea if it’s a bomb or a fishing weight. It’s very heavy, weighing 23.5 pounds. The head is cast iron and the tail is heavy sheet metal. There is a hole going completely through top to bottom approx 1 inch in diameter. There is no writing anywhere on it. Thanks in advance for any help identifying this.

Seems to match an inert RAF 20lbs Practice Bomb:

Thank You very much. Mystery solved.

If it is 23.5lb without the nose it must be a 25lb practice bomb as I have a few. Never seen a 20 lb practice bomb.
My bombs are blue for practice and some are black which may not be original paint?

Make me think to a repainted practice bomb series 25lb BDU-33 / MK76 MOD5

I was tempted to add a "rainbow" (LBGT+) reference - then though better as no one appears to accept my type of humour these days.............yes probably is a 25lbs - just picked the first photo that came up on Mr Google.
