Questionable ammo found, safe, or no?

Now that is Questionable ammo.
 
What does the side and neck of the brass look like? I found some old 30-06 that had noticeable rust spots on the side. I ran them through the tumbler to cleanup and it still had those spots. When I fired a few of them, some of them split open. Didn't hurt anything, but those rust spots were weak spots.

Just got new RCBS Rebel press, new Inline Fabrication ultra mount, new Redding #1 shell holder, new Hornady cam lock bullet puller with correct collet for 308.
Watched the video on Ultimate Reloader for setup, etc.
Pulled one from the ugliest I can find, perfect NO marks on the bullet!
There is powder stuck on the bullet base.
Powder is clumped and stuck inside the case, does not free flow out, even with repeated tappings.

Does this mean anything?

Yeah, It got water in it. Pull them all and toss the powder and primers.
