Looks like a 25 mm maybe from a WW11 shore battery, or fallen off a ship of that period.
20mm is .7874" in diameter. little larger than 10 gauge (.775")
25mm is .9843", just under an inch. little larger than 5 gauge (.977")
No way it's a .577/.450 ctg. That is the ctg. talked about in the Enfield chart.
The .577/450 used a .577 case, necked to hold a .460" paper patched bullet.
Look how much larger that ctg. is than a 12 bore shotshell.
A 12 bore shotshell is almost .800" in diameter.
30mm would be 1.181" - looks pretty close to me.
Lauchlin, what is the diameter of the bullet "just above" the case mouth, it's largest size.
Convert to mm and that is the "cannon" size.
