Good friends brother lost an eye shooting his Rem 5mm Mag. Don’t remember if it was clip or tube version. From what I recall the plate that’s screwed onto the side blew off and this or parts/shrapnel hit him in the face. He wears glasses and had them on. Don’t know if they were safety or not. Anyway his eye was black for awhile and there was hope his vision would return. Never did. Looking into it years ago I remember finding a sight specific to the Rem 5mm Mag. Guy on there posted a letter from Rem about potential problem with these rifles. I’ll look for it. Anyway, certainly a lesson for me to wear eye protection always when shooting.
Reference here but letter link no longer works:
