I have a photo from the net showing a very similar projectile in a 75x660R Russian M1892 case. (Which i have also attached here)
Having a similar case myself, i am seeking info on the projectile , including whether it is an appropriate match. Or not.....
Thanks, Charley

This most likely is for 75x660R101 Canet naval gun. See attached picture of a similar shell drawing from old Finnish manual. The groove above driving band is most unusual but seen on both.
The shell in drawing most likely is Finnish made which explains small differences.

Thanks for that Tmine35..
So the round illustrated above is a Canet 75x660R and i am happy to have such an unusual and probably uncommon projectile.
