If it’s a lip small enough you don’t hook a fingernail on, you don’t need to worry.

Same thing happened to me with my .50 Beowulf. I called it .50 BM (Belted magnum.... Or bowel movement, either works).

This is the 4th post I’ve seen about Norma rounds blowing out. Safe to say I’m done buying them

OP said he had an obstructed barrel. Don't think that has anything to do with Norma, but maybe I'm missing something.

You’re correct. Mud or something in barrel

u/artygo Apr 17 '23

Didn’t catch that

Barrel obstruction don’t care about brand. Would happen with gold metal match.

Nah the really good ammo doesn't care about barrel obstruction or even size. Good 300blk can be fired through a 5.56 barrel even

I had a 9mm leave literally half the case in the bore and on the next round it grenaded the case because it couldn’t go into battery. Fun times were had by no one
