Thanks for the heads up. I had not seen this recall.

**Get Your Ammo Here----2nd Edition**

Didn't think it would last long at 13.99 a box. Best price on soft point I've seen in a long time. I must have gotten in just under the wire at 5:42 pm.

Previously posted in the "get your ammo here" thread, but broader publication is good.

Still have to check mine, just haven't had the time. On my to do list for the weekend

 

[Ballstater98]

Whew, dodged a bullet there.

They failed to rip out lungs in testing?

I'll have to check. Does it seem odd that I don't see any reference of this on the Norma site? Anyone see anything on the manufacturer site?

Was actually looking at this and it definitely seems odd that you file a claim thru ammoshoponline.com. You would think it would be thru Ruag, Norma, or Gecko, not a supplier. I could be mistaken though

Makes me want to issue an ammo recall... Send me all 9mm ammo and once received... I'll shoot it to make sure it's safe.

Wonder if they could be a TPA for them? Still I like your idea of creating you own recall. Are you going to make special arrangements to handle and store that excessively high powered round? Seem ps like you could be putting yourself needlessly at risk!

Everything I'm seeing with this ammo has been sold thru ammoshoponline. Looking thru some of the comments from thread you posted it almost sounds like ammoshoponline is selling someone's ammo and sticking a Norma label on it

There are people on Reddit posting primers seated backwards, bullets setback, bulged case necks, and one rifle that blew up. Norma .223 bulk 500rd in plano cases from AmmoShopOnline.com.

Yeah, I checked my Norma ammo and it's not packaged like it is in the link. Those look like "generic" boxes that may have been re-packed.

I bought some Norma “white box” from normashooting.com a while back but have shot it all up so can’t check the boxes. Had some Geco as well in white boxes. It was cheap and I never had an issue at the range with it.

 

[DadSmith]

So the Normashooting.com 5.56x45mm is good to go?

Too early to tell...no official recall yet

 

[d.kaufman]

I've sent Norma an email inquiring about these issues.

From what I'm seeing I truly don't believe this is a manufacturer issue. All these issues seem to point and ammoshoponline.com, even the initial post on 9mm. Doesn't make sense that the manufacturer hasn't issued a recall, yet a distributor has

It's my thinking at this point ammoshoponline is selling crappy remanufactured ammo of some sorts and scamming people

See what reply I get from Norma I guess

I have been leery of them recently, their 22LR will flat out not function in my MK4, ammo does not have enough power to even try and cycle the action. Tried different lot number ammo and still same issue. The pistol has had no issues with any other ammo to date besides the norma.

.22 LR - 40 Gr - LRN TAC-22 - QTY 500 - Norma Shooting

Norma USA TAC-22 ammunition is precisely manufactured to deliver outstanding performance time and time again. The 40 Grain round nose is perfect for target shooting at the range or for use on small varmints.

This stuff specifically, though my LGS is not aware of anyone else having the same issue.

 

[PRasko]

Its seeming like US made norma ammo is having some pretty bad issues while the european stuff is fine.
