The Shell Mk.1 for the QF 20-pdr Mk.1 has 2.5 lb. (TNT equivalent) of explosive filler.
Nominally a 50-50 RDX/BWX mix. BWX is beeswax; it's to 'desensitize' the shell to keep it from going boom when you don't want it to. RDX/BWX is also known as Composition A-3 and has a REF value of 1.7. That means the filling is actually just 1.5 lb.
That will give 6dx3[3d] cr ex.
Finding that filler weight was surprisingly hard to find considering how widely used the QF-20 was.
I know this was driving you nuts too.
