[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 149404, member: 4785"] You cant help stupidity if the brother purchased 338 ultra cartriges and fired them in a 375 ultra it would be a lot more serious it is quite safe to fire a 7mm ultra in a 300 ultra it has been done for years by benchrest shooters when they could only get factory Sako 220 russian loaded ammo they would fire them in their 6mm PPC's the accurcy was useless but the cases formed nicely to 6mm. I have even got a 9mm cast that was fired in a 10mm glock the idiot loaded one into the mag it fed and the extractor held it to the breach face and it fired the case formed quite well and luckely no one was hurt. The same thin happened when the 280's and 270's were made aswell as the 270 and 7mm WSM instead of changing the shoulder diameter on the 7mm to smaler than the 270's they moved the neck so a dangerous situation can still occour if a 270 is fired in a 280 or a 270wsm is fired in a 7mm wsm chamber also their are dangers firing the 7mm WSM in a 300 WSM. As i said you cant stop people not thinking i have heard of shooters shooting 280's in 7mm rem mag chambers. Also a 308 can be forced into a 270 chamber and shot if the projectile is shore like a 110gr spire point. The only reason about the 338 RUM was as mentioned above the case was reduced in length to allow the use of projectiles with a canelure why they could not have an extra one placed on the projectile like some do for 30 Win Mag projectiles to allow the seating in diferent OAL cases even 405gr $%* projectiles have 2 1 for 45-70 lever guns and the other for single shots and 458 win mags. That would have been the easy soloution i think as most projectiles dont have canelures any way. Cheers Bill Australia chamber. [/QUOTE]
