[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3099371, member: 75451"] A friend of mine killed a friend’s Chevy truck “twice” with a Model 70 Winchester in .338 WM. fired from inside the cab. Not recommended, especially with a late ‘60’s with a nearly all metal cab interior. The trigger had been adjusted, apparently the “jam nut” was not sufficiently “jammed”! 😉 A note here: I always “jam” and Locktite mine after adjusting. He chambered a round, the rifle fired. He was so “freaked-out”, he quickly ejected the empty brass, and slammed home another round….an instant replay of the previous event. One of the 210 Nosler Partions went through the frame rail taking out the brake line. The other went through the bell housing, taking out the pressure plate! The friend was not impressed with his truck being damaged, and…….the friend’s wife, who was also in the cab was not impressed either. I don’t know if either of them completely regained their hearing! 🧏♀️ memtb [/QUOTE]
