They should have told him in no uncertain terms that the ammo should not be used with a fluted chamber.

The FN has a conventional chamber.

The ammo may be OK in a tight chambered bolt action. Automatics tend to be looser to help functioning.

Interesting that there is no response from the mfg.
Could be some defective ammo?

...but if what you are using as a case won't hold the pressure of firing the projectile...then it useless.

The chamber walls do most of the heavy lifting.
