Help Identifing a Cartridge

Morning everyone, I have been gifted with a cartridge for my collection. I know that the case is based on a .50 BMG, and that the bullet is incased in a sabot. Without taking it apart my guess is the the bullet is a .30 or .33 cal.

The case head stamp is as follows: above the primer "WCC", to the left of the primer "8", to the right of the primer "5", and below the primer "SLAP".

The guy that gave me the cartridge thinks its a .30 cal. sabot in a .50 BMG, and that it is a sniper round. Now I've been away from the information for awhile and must have missed this one.

Could someone help me identify this cartridge, caliber and stats, please?

Thanks your any assistance that you can give me
