Yup as Dave said a 30mm Rarden DSRR (discarding Sabot Reduced Range) It has not been fired as it would be in 4 pieces so i doubt from a tank range. If you ever get fed up of looking at it, let me know...

since there is no dia listed, could be a sabot for a older 20mmTPT,P0001122.jpg. The photo is of a AP (DU) 20mm that was loaded around the 1992 time frame. I know Olin defense loaded them, but Olin was sold out to GD-OTS and when I worked fort hem the only 20mm DU rounds we loaded were the M 919. But this round was on display and when I was collecting I sectioned the round shown.
