Norma ammo recall

[Pappabear]

I was at a match tonight and a kid told me a friend blew up two guns with Norma 124 grain ammo. I have bunch of this so I have to check my lot numbers. I pulled this off a website, but I bought mine off Osage County guns. Here is one notice off another site.

Here's the notice...

Me too, I bought 4k after doing a trial run with it and thought NORMA, gotta be decent. Price was good etc. But have been run 147's for a minute because Norma is hot ammo for 124's.

Osage County got back with me and said they have not had any issues with theirs so..... One kid that was shooting his last box last night had one round that sounded different so I will always be nervous. I dont really have some shit guns to run this through so just FCK me. Ill wait for a while to make sure more info does not surface before shooting mine.

We need an old Ruger P89.

HiPoint would be even safer based on the Iraq Veteran 8888 torture tests.

Not sure how enjoyable a hipoint is to shoot. The P89 was always fun to shoot even though it was a hog.

Maybe an S&W Sigma?

I am sure not pleasant at all, but surprisingly durable against over charges.

Been awhile since I watched them, but iirc it took driving a 3/8" bolt down the barrel to get it to pop apart and seems like they were able to put it back together and shoot it some.

I have one. Send me the ammo and I'll shoot it on video.

Somewhat concerning as Norma had a pretty good reputation I understand. I had to send back about 700 rounds of 7.62 ball last year due to a recall of bullet setback. They paid shipping and replaced it but I don't see it listed for sale too much anymore. Thanks for passing this info along, PB.
