Looks like a 23mm X152B for the Soviet ZSU23 antiaircraft gun:

I'm thinking with AP-T projo.

Hello,

this looks like a Bulgarian manufactured dummy round with an inert BZT projectile. The makers markings in the double circle give that.
A similar round has the headstamp 10 76 triangle.
Of course the caliber is 23mm x 152 B like HAZORD wrote.

thanx for the info
it has got the headstamp 10 76 triangle on the base cant see it in the pic very well
if its a dummy round why has a hole been drilled in the side

thanx lee

Well, since your round looks like it has had some use, one of its owners might have made the hole to calm the fears of the ammo Gestapo, or worse yet, to prevent terrorists from reloading it!

Hello Lee,
guess the reason for the hole in the case is the inert material the dummy was loadet with - to have the original weight of the complete round.
