Looks like a Hotchkiss 13.2mm case.
What is the actual gauge of the round?

It's a 14.5x114mm heavy machinegun round from the communist era (the "80" headstamp is the manufacturing year). Ww2 era cartridges in this calibre were made of brass. More info on http://www.municion.org/14_5x114/14_5x114.htm
