Norma 9mm ammo recall.

[wolfcreed]

Was it defective too?

The .22lr was good to go, but in order to get credit I had to return entire order since it was part of the promotion on the 9mm.

223 and 556 is also being recalled due to overpressure

Someone has a can for sale of the faulty ammo in the classifieds.

Go search Reddit
I've already canceled and they wont refund me. The faulty ammo is all over Reddit they are recalling it and offering refunds but many people didn't get a refund. Surprised no one here knows about this. Norma never shipped my ammo, they said they would take a return. I told them it never shipped. They canceled my order and never refunded. I'm in the process of doing a chargeback. Don't buy Norma ammo period.

Surprised more people here don't know about this

There is even a PSA about this on Reddit.

What happens if you shot up the 22lr already?

Stay away from norma right now they have blown up a significant number of guns.

I have ordered 7.62x39 and 22lr from them. That is a shame that the Norma brand is going to be tarnished like this. It makes me wonder if the brass is still good these days.

Ok I understand. I don't have much Norma .22 ammo, but good to know it's OK. It does seem cheesy that they'd require you to send back perfectly good ammo along with the bad.

I was hoping the recall was for small flash holes, I've destroyed 2 Lee depriming rods in the last month so I'm now sorting out the Norma 9mm brass.

AmericanMarksman refunded me after I sent their faulty ammo back. They sent me a shipping label for the remaining ammo, refunded me and apologized.

I've been noticing I get allot better accuracy with Igman than Norma. I even did a blind test and Norma was less accurate for me maybe it's that my rifle likes Igman better.

I was hoping to keep the .22lr for hassle of it all, but since the original deal at time was one free box of .22lr for each box of 9mm purchased it made sense. Not sure what they would have done if I had shot any of the free .22lr.

I reached out and my ammo was not part of the recall. I've had nothing but good results from my Norma ammo so I will most likely just keep buying it when I need it.

I've measured out some of the GECO and shot the ones that were good. But for some reason, it is causing my CZ75 to lock open with rounds still in the mag.

Not sure why, it doesn't do it with the Blazer. So far, nothing blew up with those measurements!

Are you testing the ones that measure out ok to make sure the bullet doesn't move easily. They could measure ok out of the box and then the bullet could move while they are inside the magazine, during shooting.

I found the other thread that linked to the .223 Norma recall as well, but I lost it again. I shoulda copied the thread link while I was there but got distracted. Sorry.

Interesting.

I am not done with Norma. I think eventually manafactuers have hiccups. It starts when they realize they need to calibrate and teach their tool sets.
For now, Igman is a good deal. I got a case of 1k for $447 with shipping included few weeks ago. I think the Norma fiasco is over. Regardless, I like Igman better anyways my groupings are always noticeably better with Igamn. If anyone is intested I have 2k brass shells for $140 in the classifieds. I'm off to the forest now...

All my Norma 9mm is red box. Article number 620240050 I'm not seeing this listed. im assuming it's good?

Sent back my 600 rounds Gecko 9mm about 3-4 weeks ago and still not seeing any refunds on my credit card or notifications of receiving etc.
