Mossberg 9200 scary problem

My uncle brought over my cousin for me to take turkey hunting last night, and a Mossberg 9200 autoloader that he's had for several years that he says has been jamming. In fact, it had a shell stuck in it (already fired) when he came over.
I took the gun down, and beat the shell out. I threw it in the trunk of the car this morning, and after hunting I threw in a cheap dove load and this happened:
The bolt is off it's "track" to the right slightly (looking down on the top of the gun) and it's turned down.
I got this shell out, and to my amazement, it had grown.
It seems like it's actually pulled the "brass" almost completely off the shell and the back of the shell is bowed out.
Any ideas as to what is causing this??

Think maybe sending it to mossberg might have some luck?
I dont know what happened, but the 9200 is not a great design. Lots of issues with breakages on these. I would rather have a Winchester 1400, and thats saying something. Onyl Mossberg Auto I have is a 1000, which is really a S&W, which is really a Howa.
