Took my daughter to the range tonight, and ~75 rounds into her session her 22/45 locked up. I heard the round fire, saw a fresh hole in the target, but no case ejected. Dropped the mag to verify # of rounds remaining (as a sanity check that the round did indeed fire), but the bolt wouldn't budge so we packed up and headed home.

She's fired ~1000 rounds of this particular lot# in the past 1-2 months without incident (we have another ~3000 rounds of this lot remaining). I plan to forward pics to Federal to see if they've had any problems reported.
On the plus side, my little girl continues to have fun and work hard. She's been practicing press-outs, and tonight she got to run against a timed friend/foe target. From ready, press out @ 5yds, foe presented for two seconds (which I've learned is closer to three seconds with the way the target operates at the NRA range):

That lone shot outside the 8" circle was the round with the ruptured case...
