[QUOTE="long ranger, post: 182479, member: 800"] If it was fired in a controlled feed rifle action, the extractor may hold the casing strong enough for the firing pin to fire the cartridge. Th chances of having gun all over your body would be high as the headspacing would be off by over .090" so would likely make for some outrageous chamber pressures. If fired in a push feed like a Rem 700 chances are the cartridge would not go off as the firing pin may not strike the primer hard enough as the cartridge would likely move forward away from the firing pin, due to the excess headspace. Keep in mind these rimless calibers headspace off the shoulder. I certainly would not recommend trying this. [/QUOTE]
