[QUOTE="Marble, post: 993753, member: 51354"] So glad you are ok. The first and only dangerous reloading mistake I saw was on a Rem 700 mountain gun in a 7-08. The guy had never loaded before and on his first shot he welded his brand new bolt to his receiver. Blew out the gas ports, blew the mag plate off the bottom of the gun. Gun was toast. I did almost the exact same thing you did two years ago. My ammo boxes for my 7mm and my 300 wm are identical, and I was shooting siroccos in both at the time. I had both ammo boxes on the bench at the same time and accidently stuck a 7mm in my 300wm. Same result as yours. My bullet went about 60 yards and hit the dirt. Now, whenever I am shooting, I clear off the bench with every other cartridge so I only have one choice to put in my gun. [/QUOTE]
