[QUOTE="B23, post: 638736, member: 13222"] The scary part is this kind of thing happens more often than any of us would believe. When I was in high school I hunted on a ranch that was owned by some friends of my family. The owners son and I hunted together alot. His dad had a very nice 300Wby that he always used. One day we were driving out to a rimrock to do some glassing and I noticed a box of 300Win mag shells on the seat. I asked him what he was doing with a box of 300Win. mag shells when his dad's gun was a 300Wby. I was rather surprised when he told me that's what he uses in his dad's MkV. I was even more surprised when he told me he knew they weren't the right shells but the 300win mag stuff was cheaper so he bought them instead. I thought he was just messing with me until I opened the box and saw all the fired cases. They weren't quite as crazy looking as the one in this thread but they sure were goofy looking. They were now nicely formed 300Wby cases just with a really short neck. That was the last time we ever hunted together. I thought if this moron can knowingly make bad as well as unsafe decisions like this he wasn't someone I was interested in hungting with. [/QUOTE]
