Explosive projectiles smaller than 37 mm in diameter were banned for military use in 1899. Unless there has been a recent change that I am not aware of, you don't need to worry about the projectile you found blowing up. In any case, it looks like a carbide-tipped solid steel armor piercing bullet.
the mark 211 Raufoss rnd is used in the 50 bmg rifles to take out "soft" targets behind objects such as walls and armor plate
