The burst shell IS A RELOAD with what is likely a Cheddite Clerinox 209 primer. The primer has been displaced out of the pocket, is bulging outward, and the (partial) base of the shell has a distinct extractor indentation.
Clerinox primer, burst shell, factory Cheddite/Herters right

Re the question about confirming that the burst shell in question is a reload vs factory Herters: I've fired hundreds of those exact same shells. And reloaded hundreds of them using Clerinox (Cheddite) primers. When I'm shooting sporting clays or 5 stand with my 16's, I'll carry a mixture of my 7/8 oz reloads and 1 oz factory loads. I can tell at a glance which is which simply by looking at the color of the primer. Note the copper colored rim around the Clerinox primer on the burst shell vs the gold rim around the primer on the fired factory shell.
