[50bmg]

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.
