Looks like a 6pdr proof projectile to me? http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/couple-6pdr-rounds-t77148.html?t=77148

Hi its difficult to make out the stamping - does it say 6pr 10cwt?
If so it looks like a flat head version of one of these.

After having the chance to access other references. It's suggested the projectile is 6 pound 10 cwt Shot Practice Round. Made of either steel or cast iron, filled to a weight of 6lb 4oz 8dr Written on side of shell. The protrusion at the base houses Mk IV No I tracer approx 100 grains tracer compound.
