The ammo:

The issue:
Sighting in Trijicon RMR, I took out the magazine to check # of rounds, and reinserted. Upon reinsertion, magazine seemed to "over-insert", jamming the bolt catch and the magazine release, preventing movement. Magazine could not be pulled out. Was able to finally get the mag out by bracing the stock against shooting rest and pulling with great force until magazine was free. The issue did not occur again afterwards.
The fix?
Bad magazine? Perhaps the Norgon was improperly installed? Something else?
