Hello,
As far as I know this short russian 20mm is 54mm long.
Not exactly the same (different tracer element) but no other idea.

This is one of the development versions of the 20mm T cartridge.

Hi Burney Davis According to the data, the bullet should have 8 right- grooves. Is this true on your specimen?
