Wall anchor, no

WWII Nazi lead cyanide suicide butt capsule, in case of capture, insert.....maybe??

Lets try, old lead weight from a fishing net...for $200 Alex..

Aviano is in the Mountains no where near the Mediterranean or even a large lake so I don't think the lead weight is valid either.
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

What you have thar is a rather large tie-base cartridge.   thumb1

      
1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

I win.   rofl

Well, maybe...maybe not, problem is, the copper insert. Most black powder bullets of the early era were smelted and formed in hand molds. Simplicity, and no real need for the added "copper" insert when the bullet base itself could support the string, I did find an example of a .52 Sharps Gomex & Mills patented "multi-groove" bullet with an odd looking base, but, like a typical big bore blackpowder weapon, the bullet dimensions are way off, most, unlike what the OP posted, pretty much most all are fairly short and stumpy with a large diameter. The bullets used during the Civil War and earlier that used paper cartridges had the string/paper tie groove cast directly into the bullet base itself. All that was required was an alteration to the mold for the groove, no inserts, no extra materials required.

There is always the slim chance, it's a custom job from back in the day, as most could possibly cast and mold their own if needed, especially if they had a caliber not found in the particular area or region they were in. Desperate times employed desperate measures.

It came from overseas.  You have a list of all those 150 year old calibers and how they were constructed?

Nope, do you, do you have your handy dandy pocket sized 150years of foreign black powder bullet ID. flip chart ver. 9.52 available in 22 different languages documenting it or are you just puffing out "assuming" that it is, what you say it is. 

Pulling the 'ol truth is what I say the truth is, huh...I've heard that from..... Besplode

Like I said, it may or may "NOT" be, there is always a slim chance one way, or the other, and no definitive true blue proof.    Repeat after me "I have no clue". thumb1

Oh for **** sakes....thats what I'm asking you!!!

Its a gd projectile that is likely from a rear-tie type cartridge.  I never claimed to know nor did I state the exact name, caliber, and gun that shot it.  Thats your ****ing job mr.caliberman.
