They usually tear like a banana being peeled. Sometime mine separate into several pieces. I'm using CCI #10's on a Pietta 1860 army. My Kentucky Jukar rifle will take #11 Remington. They split also. So yes your picture is somewhat normal but maybe a little more tore up than normal. ALWAYS wear wrap around safety glasses.
