Looks like a deer slug. Gary

Your bullet, is a rifled shotgun slug. You can tell because of the twist marks on it. These were meant to help stabilize the slug as it left the barrel of the shotgun. Most of the time they are used by deer hunters. It's not super old. Most companies started making those in the 1980's.
