Article: Norma to build 300,000 sq ft ammuntion factory in Georgia

I dont think anyone has ever said "Things were going great, but we just had too much ammo."

So yay! More ammo!
 
I didnt know this...

All told, Beretta Holding counts over 1,000 employees in the U.S. through Beretta USA, Benelli USA, Burris, Franchi, Steiner eOptics, Stoeger, and Norma Precision. According to its financial disclosures, the company, which also owns the Chapuis, Tikka, Sako, Uberti, and Holland & Holland brands, brought in just over $1 billion in revenue in 2021 globally, with the U.S. market making up just over half of that amount.

Beretta Moves All Manufacturing Out of Md. After State Passes New Gun Bill

Gun maker Beretta U.S.A. announced it will move all of its manufacturing out of Maryland to a new factory in Tennessee, after the company protested Maryland’s strict gun law passed last year.

They got out of MD 8 years ago but still have admin HQ there.

Seems the Yankees forgot how vital their industrial base was in winning a certain conflict . . .

Hopefully they tighten up QC, they've been sending out some bad ammo recently including a batch of .223 that's blown up several rifles on reddit.

ive gone through quite a bit of Norma 223 and 9mm over past few years with zero issues. On the other hand a case of hornady frontier 223 popped primers on 4 of 5 first rounds. Hornady was aware and issued full replacement. The point is that they all have bad batches slip through but Norma seems very vocal even when the issue may be minor. In some ways this may be a detriment to their brand.

and a blown up rifle on Reddit means very little, as the users rarely provide enough information to come to meaningful conclusion.

It was far more than a few batches. I made 3 purchases over several months and all 3 orders in 3 different calibers got recalled. 5k rounds total. I get it that there's always issues with starting up production in a new facility on new equipment with new people, but this wasnt one lot of one caliber. It was multiple calibers over several months, probably more than a million rounds.

"Old" norma ammo was made in europe, all the stuff that got recalled this year was made in the US in a new factory.
