Primer is missing and it looks like there is a hole drilled through the side right where your pinky finger is. I'd say you're good to go.
Doesn't look like it has a primer.

Some .50 caliber bullets have armor piercing tips, which can exploded under high impact. I found a live .50 caliber bullet a few months ago, and was warned on here about that. Very cool find though, those bullets are huge!!
Also, Is there another number after the "4", because most of the WWII era ones have the date on the head stamp in the form of the last two digits of the year (such as "43").
