Failure to cycle

I’ve fired about 200 rounds through my new (old) semi auto. Loving it.  One shot today however resulted in a 6” flame (not flash) from the end of the barrel, the next cartridge only half cycled and so prevented the bolt closing. Was very easy to sort. Do you think this is more likely to be a cartridge or gun issue? I’ll wait to see if it happens again.

Cartridge.

Thanks for the replies. That’s what my mate said at the time too. The dodgy cartridge hit the clay but the second of the pair was obviously not shot. 

Which semi is it?
