Congrats on your finds,that is a strange bullet I've never seen that before! Great pics!! HHH
 
Your "bullet" is actually a rifled shotgun slug, the style of which was developed by Brenneke out of Germany. The overpowder wad was actually screwed into the slug, so it stayed with it. They (wad) were initially made of felt, yours has just rotten with time, but the screw is still intact.
