Looking for ordnance casings for sale!

It's a TP (Target Practice) round for sure.  The TPDS-T (Target Practice Discarding Practice-Tracer) C36A3 round was used to duplicate the performance of a APDS-T (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot-Tracer) round with cheaper components (no tungsten penetrator).  It would match an APDS-T out to around 1800m.

Yours says C36A2.  There should not have been much of a design difference between the A2 and A3 to make it go from straight TP to TPDS but stranger things have happened.

Thanks for all the info that you've provided me  :nod:!!

Shame it was only a TP round. Oh well, I still think it's a really nice addition to my collection :) .
