It did this time but, once before I think it was mid way during the firing...maybe the fourth one down...can't recall for sure. The mag followers for the 457 have one indent close to the back(like the 4506) but not two as shown in the 4516 pics. The followers are new as well and have had only maybe 100 round usage.
