Gun and gear reviews BioAmmo issues

Brought these shells to the range to try them out. As you can see the hull ripped open and the brass is dimpled out. I shot 5 of these and they all look the same. Did any of you guys ever have this happen to you?

I assume they’re unsafe and I’ll throw them away but I’ve never seen brass deform like this it’s kind of crazy

I like the idea, biodegradable wads and casings? Of course it's good practice and everyone should be picking up their shells, but they still end up going somewhere, and of course a few sometimes get missed. 

I also wish someone would come up with biodegradable pigeons/clay. Despite them being clay, they don't really ever break down. Lots of spots in the forest are covered in chunks of orange clays that will be there for decades, and it looks like crap. I would love to see some biodegradable ones that break down after a couple months since it's basically impossible to clean up clays when shooting on crown land, seems like they would be pretty easy to make too.

I agree, that’s why I picked them up. Any ideas on how to get rid of the rest of them? Do I cut them up and throw them in the garbage?
