[QUOTE="Carsyn.22, post: 2162819, member: 104613"] Quite some stories here! We can't be too careful... I have a friend who hunts with a 7RM but like many Canadians he also owns a .303 Brit, he accidentally chambered a 303 in his 7mm and kaboom, case failure which led to front action ring failure which ejected the barrel out the front and broke the stock. By the Grace of God he was okay. I would never have guessed that a 303 would chamber tightly enough to fire in a 7RM but when I heard what had happened to him I started thinking and that rim is probably close enough to the right size to fit the bolt head pretty good. It sure made me more careful. [/QUOTE]
