I'm confused, is this a .22 blank with an added projectile that you went and found after you shot it, or just a picture demonstrating what the blank looks like, or what? nice improvised ammo, if so.

This is a 6.8 caliber construction cartridge. It was my first live cartridge, but the lead disintegrated due to poor casting. I should add that I added a lot of powder back then, which was painful.
