Squib with a can???

[adamsredlines]

Just one of the hits when looking up Norma issues. Same ammo I'm using....

 

[adamsredlines]

Lucky you recognized an issue and didn't send another.

Honestly wish that were the case but I know I shot at least twice with it in there not knowing.

I would also contact Norma they may have got a bad lot out in circulation and may fix you up correctly.

Do not toss them.
If you do wish to not contact them and want to toss that ammo I would be pleased to shoot them through my 357 and measure velocity from every shot.

Of course this could be a group effort as i am in the crowd now that has shot their chrony and need to buy another. or shoot with someone that has one.
Just saying.
Would be nice to chrony the entire box of that ammo.
If i get 2 squibs then time to take all that ammo apart and measure powder charges etc etc for science sake of course.

I guess I could measure the remainder on my digital powder scale for outliers, I'd think they should be consistent enough to spot a powder variance on loaded ammo?

 

[swampratt]

EEEEHHHH bullets could vary a tenth as could powder and cases can be 4 tenths but usually not that far off for same box ammo as I have taken many loaded factory rounds apart for rifle ammo and it stays pretty consistent.

But does not hurt to weigh some that's for sure.
Too bad you even have to go there.

Wow! That’s crazy. Glad nothing major happened. But I’m astonished that the projectile went sideways like that.

It was loose in the can, I had to maneuver it around to get the pic. I was then able to rattle it out. It wasn't "jammed" in there sideways.

As long as none of the baffle material got pushed into the bullet path, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Funny story, a friend and I were shooting his first F1 .22 can maybe 10-15 years ago. We were shooting and he missed the target with one round. All the sudden the can got noticeably quieter with no other issues. When we were done, he realized the bore hole was now oval. The miss was apparently a baffle strike that bent up 4-5 of the stamped baffles. Didn’t affect accuracy and the accidental “re-engineering” made it even better.

You could check clearance with an alignment rod and may not have to send it back.

Oh ok! I thought it was attempting to tumble in there.
