The long, pointy APCBC that the 57mm 6 pdr was originally designed to fire really did weigh 6 lb.!
On this page: Artillery Equipment page
I found this:
6-pdr data
Calibre 57mm/2.24in
Shot type Shell Weight (kg/lb.)
HE 2.7/6
AP 2.7/6
APCBC 3.2/7
APCR 1.8/4
APDS 1.5/3.2

I'm going to move on since this is a thread about favorite UK tanks. Maybe the moderators will transfer this to another thread.
